While Ga-eun may not be on the rankings, she’s overwhelmingly ranked #1 with a win rate of 72%.

With her cute appearance, she has gained quite a popularity even among those who aren’t into New Dimension.

But she’s 26… that’s a 5-year difference from the Gallery Master…

…When compared to the Gallery Master, she definitely seems like an auntie.

ㅇㅇ: The opponent is too strong! AAAAAAH!!!!!
여긴ㅇㅅㅇ없이좋네: Still, isn’t it a bit too much to have Auntie hit a four-hit combo? Bad girl…

【Title: Summary of Ga-eun Gallery Master’s Statements】
【Author: ㅇㅇ🔹】

(Ga-eun’s Remarks Edit.mp4)

[Players like Edde and Rene have completely opposite play styles.]
[Edde, for instance, prefers to steadily pressure her opponent with her skills before delivering the finishing blow.]
[In contrast, Rene enjoys countering her opponent’s moves.]
[Additionally, she’s quite skilled at utilizing the battlefield thanks to her PK experience.]
[So there’s definitely a chance for Rene to win.]

[I’ve mentioned Rene a few times on my broadcasts.]
[It’s not just about having good physical skills. Her game sense is excellent, and her understanding of PVP is top-notch. She plays very intelligently.]
[Wasn’t that a match that truly showcased her talent?]

Summary in Three Lines:
1. Edde loves aggressive play, while Rene enjoys countering.
2. Plus, her PK experience makes her very familiar with field tactics, leading to a 40% win rate.
3. Rene is truly a clever player.

But no matter what, #3 can’t be true, damn it;

Nore Rene No Life🔹: What does Ga-eun know? I’ll think of her as a beast for life…
└ㅇㅇ🔹: For real, lol
└여긴ㅇㅅㅇ없이좋네: For real, if I didn’t, I’d feel really unfair after getting beaten by this beast!

[Wow, Rene wins really well, huh?]
[I mean what? I lost due to her skills. Haha! It’s a bit embarrassing, though! I thought I’d win for sure!]
[“I lost because I was called an auntie….’ Hey, do you really want to die?!]
[‘Age difference,’ haha! That’s too much, but I have to admit! Damn it, if I were just three years younger, I think I would’ve won! Or not?]

[Didn’t it bother you? What’s to be bothered about? Rene was just better and won, and calling me an auntie was just trash talk. Honestly, I did initiate it before the event started.]
[But then I lost… Aah! So embarrassing!]

[We’re still on good terms! We even exchanged contact info, so we’ll be getting close in the future.]

[Wow, but Rene is really beautiful. Her personality is cute too. It’s like I’m feeling an unexpected maternal instinct?]
[Ah, is this what it means to be called an auntie…?]

[Yeah~. I’ve actually seen Rene, but you all haven’t, right? You’re jealous?]
[You didn’t even see her on-site? She was just in the waiting room while the other guests were walking around.]
[She came with Tuni, and she was in the waiting room even while Tuni was roaming.]

[As far as I know, she was originally just supposed to participate online, but due to some issues, she came on-site.]
[That’s probably just her nature.]
[Well, I used to be like that too. I get it.]

After this, the conversation shifts to Tagirion.

They really pressed the issue of age, but wow, what a great guy.

Nore Rene No Life🔹: Rene! Rene! Rene! Rene! Rene! Rene! Rene! Rene!
여긴ㅇㅅㅇ없이좋네: She’s actually going live, damn it, lol
└Daguras🔹: For real, I thought she would post “I’ll take a break after today’s event…”
└여긴ㅇㅅㅇ없이좋네: Rene knows too well, it’s crazy, lol

“Oh, I see….”
After returning home, I contacted Jaehun about the Reverse Capsule, and he replied that it had just been repaired and would depart soon.
Well, anyway, since I was just planning on doing a casual chat broadcast today, it didn’t matter.
Fortunately, I waited until people cleared out at the event and played some New Dimension before returning.
On my way home, I browsed through communities like Remagal and New Dimension Gallery, and the reactions to today’s event were not bad.

Actually, they were quite favorable.
To be honest, since it was just PVP, I was pondering whether it was even okay to call it a main event before the world quest announcement for Tagirion.

Of course, there were quite a few posts questioning if it was manipulated, saying it doesn’t make sense for Edde to lose, but she personally dismissed those claims when she turned on her broadcast.

“Hm….”
Regardless, after showering and sitting at my computer, I immediately turned on the broadcast.

[Hello]
[Talk | 7834 viewers online | 00:01:05]

─Finally here! Finally here! Finally here! Finally here! Finally here! Finally here!
─Great Demon Rene
─Is she a goddess? Is she a goddess? Is she a goddess?
─Auntie Cut, lol (Message deleted.)

In no time, a massive influx of Rene’s fans came rushing in.
─She’s actually not taking a break, lol
─For real, if it’s this beast, I would’ve thought she’d be too tired from today to stream <<< Obviously, I expected that.
─She’s grown up…
─Fact: This girl already announced a one-week break.
─Now that I think about it, that’s really true.
─What is it? Why is she streaming???
─This girl said she’s taking a break and then streamed???
─Lie… Lie… Lie… Lie… Lie… Lie… Lie… Lie… Lie…
─Is the Earth finally going to perish tomorrow? Damn it.

…Honestly, I had no intention of streaming today.
I had already announced a one-week break due to the repair of the Reverse Capsule, and to be honest, I was feeling tired from being out today.

But, what should I say?
After seeing so many compliments in the communities after the event was over, I felt a sense of achievement that was hard to put into words.
That desire to showcase the feeling of accomplishment is why I decided to stream.

Well, should I cancel that one-week break?
It was caused by the issues with the Reverse Capsule, and since that problem was resolved quickly, I should…

“Hello, everyone….”

─Leha
─This is streaming by Rene, who defeated the global PVP ranking #1 ‘Edde’ 3:1???
─??? : Edde is an old lady (actual words)
─??? : I hate trash talk, it might not feel good (while personally insulting the opponent)

And as soon as I greeted everyone, a flood of malicious commentary began to rise.
Of course, it was true that I called Edde an auntie, but it was said in a completely joking manner.
Isn’t it weirder for a mere streamer like me to speak skillfully to the current global PVP ranking #1?
Especially when I didn’t even cuss…

But for me to not react to such defamation is what can be seen as professional, right?
“Today, I was a special guest at the official event of New Dimension… Did you all watch…?”
─I was there, lol
─Honestly, I thought she’d never show up at such places but she did, and I was surprised.
…There are many stories there.
About destiny… a lot of stories….

“I had a PVP match with Edde, and I was lucky enough to win 3 to 1….”
─Look at this humility, lol
─Edde official) She just lost on skill, Rene plays really well.

“No… I was just lucky…. Ah, should we do a review broadcast…?”
─Go go go go go
─It’s your time to prove you’re ‘intelligent’ Rene, okay?

★

“Anyway, she really did play well…. As I said earlier, how should I put it…? Should I say that I create situations that the opponent cannot respond to? That’s kind of my style…. But Edde finds ways to win even in those situations….”

I realized in the second round that Edde’s movements were quite similar to Ga-eun’s, and I thought I could win 3-0 confidently.
But I lost in the third round and barely won in the fourth.
Upon reviewing, I was fairly certain that if Edde had just shifted the flow once, I certainly would have lost the fourth round too.

“I probably would have lost if I hadn’t known Ga-eun’s style….”
─?
─Ga-eun taught Edde her play style?
“No, what I mean is, the way Edde and Ga-eun move? Should I call it a step? They’re both so similar….”

…Wait a minute.
Is it okay to say this?

─?????
─What does that even mean???
─Edde and Ga-eun are friends?
─I mentioned they talked about PVP before, lol
─But what does it mean that their steps are the same?

“Um….”
[The broadcast has ended.]

─??????????????
─Damn you
─What’s going on?
─What are you talking about? Tell me, damn you.
─You’re dropping bombs and leaving, lol

(Edde Play Ga-eun Play Mashup.mp4)
I checked what this dumb girl called the ‘step’ at 0.25x speed, and about 8 seconds in, you can see both extending their feet forward to control the hit while leaning their upper bodies, simultaneously pulling their feet back by about half a step.
One thing could be a coincidence, but watching the video, it’s clear there are multiple similar habits between them.

What this dumb girl mentioned is probably this?
This is originally Ga-eun’s habit, but it seems no one ever broke that, as Young-won mentioned, I never expected Edde to have the same habit.
Did she learn it directly?

ㅇㅇ: So right now Edde is broadcasting while doing Ga-eun’s variable TS, right?
└Written by ㅇㅇ: ?
└Head-Broken Priest: Damn, then what’s the conclusion?
