Because I Live in the US 270

Chapter 270 – Totoworm

Space craft 2.
It is the successor to Space Craft, which created the e-sports trend.

‘It’s almost treated as a folk game.’

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no one born in the 90s who has not done it.
It enjoyed tremendous popularity.

It failed to inherit the status of its predecessor.
Space Craft 2 failed to become a box office hit in Korea.

〈2018 Global Space League Season 3 starts now! Your warm welcome! Let’s go with a shout~~~ Let’s do it!!〉

There are areas that are doing surprisingly well.
Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

This is where the Spacecraft 2 competition takes place.
The curtain rises with the host’s familiar shout.

“Please please…”
“Really, I bet all my money.”

It doesn’t heat up even though it’s such a lively atmosphere.
The air in the stands is different.

Anxious faces.
He is chewing on his nails and has bloodshot eyes.
Even if you pretend, you don’t look like a normal spectator.

“You must be a huge fan.”
“Pan?”
“Aren’t you worried that the player you’re rooting for will lose?”
“Well, there must be such a point of view.’

I came to the stadium with Hyeri.
Hyeri’s words are not without truth.

‘If that’s the case, they must be healthy fans.’

I have a completely different mindset.
Statue dream.
Sit moderately between them.

To watch the game.
Soon after, players from both teams enter the booth.

“It’s been a while since I’ve come to watch a star game.”
“Have you ever been?”
“Because I liked stars. I went there once with my school kids…”

Hyeri recounts her memories over and over again.
Although there is a slight generation gap.

‘It looks like they overlap closely.’

It was a trend until the 2010s.
Even the girls knew about spacecraft.

It feels like going to a concert, to the point of going to a competition.
There were times when it was so hip.

〈B Group 1 match started at Dream Catcher. 5:00 Blue Terran Go Dong-gun!〉

All old days.
It didn’t take long to feel that times had changed.

“Aren’t you doing that these days?”
“What?”
“You know that. That! Fighting.”

Hyeri waved her arm cutely.
This is the traditional fan culture of space craft.

‘To the extent that Rollpan was also influenced until the early days.’

××× Fighting!
Shout in a loud voice when the player’s face and starting position are illuminated.

It is also a kind of fandom fight.
It overpowers the baseline with shouts.

“To do that.”
“It’s a bit less crowded.”
“The purpose of coming to the stadium is different.”
“?”

Even now, it’s not like those voices don’t exist at all.
It ends with the clamor of some fans.

‘Most of them have no interest in players.’

What matters is winning or losing.
Up to that point, you can think of it as a core fan base who enjoys games.

〈Because Goh Dong-gun is behind in the opponent’s record?〉
〈 That’s right. However, the recent Terran vs. Protoss brood war win rate is slightly smiling at the Terran side, so it can be seen as tough.〉

Commentator’s evaluation.
At the same time, a muttering voice is heard from the seat next to him.

“How can this be mother-to-mother!”
“With the fact that Isaac Park ate the toss odds…”
“Mom.”

A lot of castles are sprouting.
No matter who hears it, it’s not an atmosphere where people laugh and pass it off as a joke.

“There are a lot of inconveniences.”
“Yes.”
“It would be nice if you could correct your posture and sit down.”
“Your eyes are on things where money is at stake.”
“Money?”

There are moments when a person loses his temper and becomes emotional.
If you lose, it’s when something really big happens.

‘It’s as if I’ve been bitten by stocks.’

Spectators watching the game.
Most of them have cell phones in their hands.
Some watch more often than games.

There are many people who are addicted to cell phones, so it’s no wonder.
But when I think of the fact that I made it all the way to the stadium.

“No, fuck… The multiplier is doubled.”
“Fuck it. Why do I lose when I bet?”

The purpose itself is different.
Space Craft 2 is the hottest e-sports Toto event.

———————————————+
『GSL Group B 1 match』
Ko Dong-gun (T) 2.40 VS 1.30 Hwang Kwang-jo (P)
+———————————————

If you enter the site like this, there is a list of matches and multipliers.
It is a system that bets money by predicting win or loss.

“If the prediction is correct, do you really pay?”
“Okay.”
“Wow…But can I do that?”
“Of course it’s illegal.”

There is Sports Toto operated by the National Sports Promotion Agency.
It is 100% legal gambling recognized by the state.

‘But the odds are tight.’

Items are also limited.
From the point of view of Totochungs who like to gamble, it is not the best.

“Totochung?”
“Yeah, that’s what people call sports betting.”
“Aren’t you just a gambling addict?”
“There’s a little difference.”

People who enjoy Toto.
The gambler is right, but it’s different from simply betting on odds and ends.

They think they are smart(?).
I firmly believe that you can make money by gambling.

‘Because analysis is possible.’

This is why Space Craft 2 is popular among totochungs.
Current game.

Square! Square! Square!

Terran bomb drops are pouring in.
Widow mines target workers digging for minerals.

Perong! Perong!

A shot fired intensely.
Workers caught up in splash damage suffered mass casualties.

〈This is a fatal blow, Hwang Kwang-jo?!〉
〈 I don’t think I was thinking at all. I’m prepaid! I didn’t expect the drop to come.〉

This is a feature of spacecraft.
Early build fights have a devastating effect on the game.

Perong! Perong!

Dropped Widow Mine.
Unlike the disposable Star 1 mine, it continues to attack until it is removed.

The protoss who raised the stargate first were late observers.
Not being able to clear mines quickly.

〈I haven’t been able to collect any resources in the meantime?!〉
〈 Player Go Dong-gun gathers his troops and comes out. Protoss forces can’t stop it right now.〉

Checkmate.
The difference in builds in the early stages, and one minor mistake, decided the winner.

“This variable is what the totochungs like.”
“Oh~.”
“Because the more you know the game, the higher your betting odds.”
“I guess so.”

This is the background situation in which Toto forces are entangled in space craft.
Spacecraft 2 is more than its predecessor.

‘The plate itself is at the level of being rolled thanks to the totochung.’

It even goes so far as to say that viewers will not be left without Totochung.
Many of the spectators were also bettors.

“Hee, hee hee. Assholes.”

Two squares down, obliquely to the left.
A creepy laugh is heard.
He is the guy who made me come to this stadium today.

‘Well, good.’

It’s more insanity than you think.
A slight turn of the eye is a model of a good gambler.

Um! Um!

After the first game, we take a short break.
In the meantime, change your seat.

The stadium is not full.
Because they sit sparsely, it is okay to change seats at will.

“There. My seat”
“Hello ~.”
“It’s not that she’s a cool beauty who is rumored to be the prettiest in the neighborhood, has an S-class body, and is a virgin.”
“?”

I have been to the bathroom.
He seemed to be perplexed when we were in his seat.

‘It’s not from a virgin.’

Hyeri shakes her hand with a happy expression.
Actually, she wouldn’t be welcome at all, but she has a good affinity.

“Ah ~ seniors.”
“My parents called me too. They’re worried about a girl walking around alone.”
“Ojida is awesome.”

Opposite.
These days, like kids, they are walking My Way.
My name is Shin Da-yul, a first-year freshman in the Department of Economics.

‘I see one one.’

At first glance, it’s not a welcome atmosphere.
Even if you’re like me, you won’t feel very good if you interfere in the middle of a single game.

“I’m fine!”
“But school should come out.”
“My mom?”
“Your mom also said that.”

Hye -ri also hit a little.
A battle of nerves is taking place while playing Tallulah legally.

〈B Group 2 started at 16 bits. Red Zerg Warfields player at 1:00!〉

In the meantime, the game proceeds.
Two matches were Zerg vs. Protoss, one of which was a foreign player.

‘But it’s a star.’

It is said that she is also popular abroad.
To the extent that foreign players participate in domestic leagues.

“Isn’t it stop?”
“I don’t have to worry about my parents.”
“Are you going to take responsibility if your intuition doesn’t come and you lose it!!”
“Does that matter?”

There is a detailed aspect in its own way.
What Dayul argued was also true.

‘It’s a psychological part.’

Foreign players.
There is less professional spirit than Korea.
There are individual differences, but Warfields says it is especially so.

“And the opponent toss player is characterized by long play.”
“So what?”
“So what!”
“He really doesn’t know.”

Hyeri may have liked the star, but she would not have seen it while understanding the strategy.
She purely enjoyed fan culture.

‘Da-yul seems to have done some analysis.’

Winning or losing the game.
Sharing isn’t just about skills.
Build fights don’t decide everything either.

〈 Wafields, you’re already posting your 4th hatchery, right? This will cause the zerg to overflow with resources!〉
〈 Rich Zerg. Rich Zerg.〉

After all, it is people who play the game.
Concentration in the second half can determine victory or defeat.

“Look at that bastard’s face.”
“A foreign player?”
“Yeah, you just chewed shit. I’m sure you’re going to do something stupid.”

Space Craft is such a game.
In the previous work, there were various incidents and accidents.

‘It’s like arteriosclerosis now.’

No matter how advantageous the game is, it can be rolled up in one go.
You are betting on it.

〈 The zerg reached 200 population! Even with advanced units!〉
〈The Protoss seem to have a hard time stopping them as they are also ahead in terms of troop quality.〉

Realistically unlikely.
It’s not a rational analysis at all.
What the commentators say makes more sense.

Tuduk, Took!

Brood lord.
Zerg’s late game final tech units piled up.

There aren’t enough troops to stop it.
Both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Wheein!

Virtually lost
Even Protoss players know that and try to gamble.

No, it’s just a little prank.
I made a carrier with hallucination and sent it out.

〈 How great would it be if that was a real carrier~? 〉
〈 Fully pushed. There is no power struggle at all. If you are pushed here, you have no choice but to give up the toss to the main base. GG~! Uh?〉
〈〈 Zerg hit GG?!〉〉

Miraculous come-from-behind victory
