With absurd feats from Employee Dee, the Mugun team wiped out an entire enemy squad in the blink of an eye.
The chat, which had mocked her when she declared she'd take first place, was now flooded with exclamations of awe.
— What the fuuuuuck?????
— Insane lololololol
— Holy shittttt
— Howwww howwww howwww howwww ?????????
— Wow
— Kyaaaaaaa
— Wooooow lolololololo
— Damn, what CAN'T Employee Dee do!!!!!
:: Anonymous sponsor donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: She nails impressions, crushes raps, super cute on direct cams, dominates Battle Coliseum like a pro... What the hell is Employee Dee!!!
— Employee Dee!!
— Damn, Employee Dee!!
— Found my dopamine dealer
— For real, what can't she do lololol
— Debut pleeeeaseeeeee
— So Mugun, are you really that famous Momo anti?
— You the one who sniped Mugun?
Watching that, Mugun thought to himself.
She'd been consistently reading out nicknames, so it was definitely leaving an impression on people.
But didn't she come out here to promote 1st Gen?
Somehow, the vibe felt more like an Employee Dee showcase.
If she suddenly pivoted to a debut stream right now, everyone would just cheer, "I knew it!"
Feeling oddly self-conscious, Mugun subtly asked Magia.
"1st Gen 1st Anniversary Song November 5th Release, you know what to do later, right?"
But Magia was like she'd sold her soul to double-barrel shotguns, too busy dashing around hunting enemies.
...Looks like no talking sense until the game's over.
As Mugun followed Magia to a new sniping spot, he said,
"Won-hyuk. Keep an eye on that one so she doesn't die."
[You're rushing in so recklessly, I can't even see the entry angle....]
"Why? Scared you'll be the only one left hanging if we go in?"
[You smashed the door open. If I follow, feels like the guys by the door will just shoot me.]
It was spot-on analysis.
In truth, Employee Dee's attacks were like a siege ram—pure forward momentum.
Normally, people trapped in smoke think about retreating backward, but she just lobbed another one ahead. A mindset that said she'd go down swinging, no backing off.
But that also meant total confidence in her aim.
Even in this battlefield swarming with top-tier users who usually lorded over her.
For whatever reason—maybe that sheer boldness—even ex-pro Mugun was starting to buy into Magia's combat style.
"Don't follow in. Just provide cover fire from back here. Whoever's inside will handle it."
[If she dies, we're screwed. You can rake in cash from streams anyway, but I want that prize money!]
"This round's just a warmup anyway. And you've been watching 1st Gen 1st Anniversary Song November 5th Release move from behind the whole time, right? You can dodge and save her. As long as she doesn't die, we win for sure."
Still, supporter Park Won-hyuk was already fretting about the next round.
[Got it. But can I say one thing, bro?]
"Shoot."
[Our strategy—or lack thereof—is totally exposed already. No guarantee other teams will fall for the same brainless rush next round, right?]
Fair point.
It looked like Employee Dee casually smashed their gate and wreaked havoc, but these were all top-tier players.
In other words, their collapse was a flub from underestimating her.
If they'd known she could land shots that precise through smoke, they wouldn't have gotten wiped so pathetically.
Plus, teams rarely fall twice for the same trick.
That's why MOOVING Crew scrims were so brutal.
One game's winning strat gets countered hard next round.
"Well. 1st Gen 1st Anniversary Song November 5th Release said not to hold her back. So I'll stick to my position. If she rampages brainlessly and dies, that's on her."
[...Tch. Fine. I'll do my best to keep her alive.]
Just then, a donation rolled in.
:: Anonymous sponsor donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: But bro, you're going easy on the nagging today? Normally you'd chew Momo out right away for that ::
Mugun chuckled under his breath.
"Compare apples to apples. Momo's got no skills but acts cocky. 1st Gen 1st Anniversary Song November 5th Release has the skills to back up the cockiness. You guys just have no eye for games."
That hit Magia—who'd been prowling for prey—right where it hurt.
Not only did he casually call her "that Momo girl" like they were buddies, but he dragged Magia into it as a comparison to trash the boss's skills. How could she not snap?
Moments later, as Mugun scoped the perimeter from a cliff edge,
Ting.
A grenade bounced off the hard stone floor toward him.
Startled, Mugun slid backward in a panic.
Boom!
He dodged quick enough that his shield didn't shatter completely, but two of three bars were gone.
The long ally ID from the incoming direction wagged side to side like a taunt, and then Magia's usually silent mic finally lit up.
[Don't badmouth our boss.]
— ? lololol
— No way Employee Dee threw that?
— Thought she was quiet from focus lol
— Teamkill attempt lolololol

:: Heard rumors you're brainwashed by the boss, for real?? ㄷㄷ ::

Of course, this tidbit reached Do-hee, who was busy tending to the other members.
"Boss. This."
Operations chief Kang Ji-ho brought a short clip.
Magia was dominating, sure.
But drawing eyes for all the wrong reasons too.
"....Go ahead and plaster 'Momo Broth' ads all over the neighborhood."
"Hehe. Still cute though."
Her impulsive antics all sparked that primal chuckle.
Chat reactions, community buzz—same story.
Felt straight-up like a Magia debut stream.
[ (?Live) Scrims with Special Guest - October Week 4 ] ?30,004
Viewership was slowing a bit but still climbing steadily.
That short blurb about the new song dropping November 5th was already burned into every viewer's mind.
Even if they cut the stream now, the ad spend/ROI metrics would be grinning ear to ear.
Zero budget viral marketing? (Poster by Dora, buzz from Ji-a's sniping)
Finance and promo teams could grill Magia on their "secrets" and no one would bat an eye.
But Magia still had one bullet left.
The teaser video slated for post-scrim reveal.
Timing that last shot wasn't easy, though.
With all eyes glued to her now, dropping it would just spawn question marks.
Someone might rage, "Wait, no Employee Dee debut??"
Magia had clocked that and delayed to post-scrim...
"But can't just keep dragging it out."
If there was a way to redirect the spotlight. And if Magia pulled it off.
It'd be prime proof she could influencer as well.
And boost her presence in the company even more.
Everyone knew the company car couldn't roll without Magia parts, but ask if she was premium talent? Not many yeses right now.
...Maybe flip that perception entirely.

Warmup round over.
Results?
[1st - Mugun Team | Mugun / Spine-Chiller / 1st Gen 1st Anniversary Song November 5th Release ]
— They snagged 1st with THAT?
— Mugun carry lol
— Bus ride, cheers~
— ? Employee Dee did everything, wtf
— Supreme Mugun
— King God Dee
Mugun carried, Employee Dee carried—chat split down the middle.
Ultimately, dual-carry fishing boat meta: Mugun and Magia alternating leads to first.
As teams prepped for the main games, consensus fail factor? "Way too cocky about Employee Dee."
Every squad tried countering her charge, lost one guy first, formation crumbled, then Mugun's crisp support fire finished them.
But as ex-Mugun team supporter Park Won-hyuk said, "First-round luck" dominated opinions.
Now they knew the push style—kite back, herd like rabbits, no way to lose.
But Mugun thought the opposite.
"Let's keep rolling like this. Feels good."
Magia shot back.
[Feels good? Your support fire was a total mess.]
— lolololololololo
— She did EVERYTHING!
— Sniped for you, pinged enemies, covered you, what more lolol
— Greedy much lololol
By now, Mugun could tell Magia hated his guts.
What was it—unfounded anti-Momo vibes?
No, the vicious kind.
But with two years streaming under his belt, he knew how to WWE.
"Was it? I thought the charges were trash."
[So who got more kills?]
"Talking kills now?"
— Hmm
— True tho
— Lost...
— Twice?
— No way you lose this one too bro
"Hah, pulling out serious mode again."
— That last one casual?
— You were trying lolol
— Useless, Mugun...
Ignoring the teasing chat, Mugun said,
"1st Gen 1st Anniversary Song November 5th Release. Since it's out, kill bet for the next three rounds?"
He'd hoped for an off-guard yes, but Magia didn't bite.
[I thought next one's the finale.]
"Nah. Wanna do kills. One round's too short. Too many variables in single. How 'bout two more? True last and true-true last?"
[No.]
— lololololololol
— C'mon, one more with uncle~
— Uncle's not bad, promise?
— Says no but you won't let go hehehe
— Don't gooooooo
Chat was all "cajole the cutie who said no" mode.
Rare to see someone skilled stand her ground against Mugun like that.
Felt like pro comics trading barbs—riveting.
Buoyed by public favor, Mugun yelled,
"Kids! She's showing sincerity here. You gonna drag a busy lady around with empty promises?"
[That's on you, Mugun—]
"Quick, quick! No mission? Hurry! Next round starts? End scrims after?"
Ding.
:: Mission ::
:: Employee Dee plz give us two more scrim rounds - 100,000 won ::
Magia muttered seeing it.
[Can't just extend rounds without checking with others.]
Mugun fired back.
"What? We always do at least four. Cutting to two 'cause 1st Gen 1st Anniversary Song November 5th Release is busy."
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Over 30k viewers—donations stacking fast.
:: Mission ::
:: Employee Dee plz give us two more scrim rounds - 1,090,000 won ::
Climbing by 1k, 5k—smashed 1 mil in seconds.
But would Magia bend for cash?
She'd guested Rain's stream for real revenue to her and ranking climbs.
Ppa-zzik ranks daily/weekly/monthly sponsors on main—her 4.25 mil that day put Rain on daily/weekly, huge influx.
But Mugun stream mission?
Why bother?
Would just rank her on his stream.
:: Mission ::
:: Employee Dee plz give us two more scrim rounds - 1,845,000 won ::
Even at 10 mil, no reason.
[Sorry, no mission.]
...But.
What if not cash—something else?
[But open to other offers besides mission.]
Mugun stroked his chin, nodded.
"Other stuff, huh. Name your price."
She'd known since stream start: she was issue central.
But spotlight on her?
Not Magia's problem.
Her silence mid-game? Scheming.
[Do Parallel Song World Cup right after scrims.]
How to redirect this hype to 1st Gen.
