Episode 203 Broadcast

Gold Circle Chief of Staff Jeong Min-hee saw the reply from the eSports Association.

“It’s a refusal.”

Jeong Min-hee’s expression turned cold for a moment, but that quickly disappeared.

Jeong Min-hee sent a reply email to Do-jun, printed the contents, and went to Do-jun’s office.

– smart.

When Dojun heard a knock, he looked at the window. Minhee Jeong’s silhouette was visible.

Dojun spoke to Jang Minho in front of him.

“So this is the list of players for each game decided internally? “Then let’s decide on this.”

“Yes, brother! “But isn’t someone here?”

“Oh, it’s the chief secretary. “I guess there’s something urgent.”

“Then shall I go out?”

“no. wait.”

“Yes, don’t worry about me.”

“okay.”

Dojun said with a grin.

“Come in.”

After a while, the door opened and Jung Min-hee came in. Jang Min-ho’s eyes widened when he saw her. It was because of the aura he felt from the woman.

‘It’s straight.’

There wasn’t a single wrinkle in his clothes, and he had no expression. But it wasn’t cold either.

‘The perfect career woman? “That’s right.”

“CTO, I have received a reply from this sports association. The original was sent to the CTO’s email.”

Dojun said after checking the printed contents.

“You refused?”

“yes. People say that Legends of League is not a famous game, but the real reason seems to lie somewhere else. At the bottom of the document, it says to come back in person next time, and that seems to be the real reason.”

Dojun chuckled.

“Come find me? “Do you want to come over and have a meal and talk?”

“That’s a metaphor. “I checked with the secretaries of other gaming teams, and they said it was a taming process.”

Dojun was surprised.

“Have you tried contacting other gaming teams?”

“yes. “Exchanging and confirming information is the basis of secretarial work.”

Dojun smiled brightly. While he was growing up, everyone around him was also growing up.

“What do you say?”

“If you answer that you will attend, then the real story will come out. Of course, he said he needed a corresponding gift.”

“gift? So, if you don’t attend, I won’t give you permission?”

“yes. “Based on the personality of the president of the esports association we investigated, it is true.”

Min-ho Jang spoke in response to Min-hee Jeong.

“If they don’t allow you to play, isn’t that a big problem?”

Dojun shook his head.

“no. Nothing special. “It’s a game between us anyway, so whatever.”

“Still, in order to be registered as an official professional gamer, you need to get permission from the association… … .”

Do-jun chuckled as he looked at Jang Min-ho, who had a worried expression on his face.

“Are you worried?”

“A little bit. Whether or not you are a registered player with the association… “It’s actually quite important to the players.”

Dojun spoke after taking a sip of green tea.

“Minho, do you know how the first esports association came about?”

“Association? That’s right… “I’m not sure.”

Dojun chuckled.

“The esports association was created after professional gamers first emerged. “Before there were professional gamers, there were users who enjoyed playing games.”

It was a natural story. There are games, there are fans who enjoy them, and among those fans, people with exceptional skills have become professional gamers.

After that, the league was activated and associations were created.

“ah! “I guess so.”

“yes? But now it seems like the association has forgotten that. what? Are you rejecting it because it’s a little-known game? “They should be revitalizing the game and nurturing players, but they completely forgot about that and came to us to find it?”

Dojun asked Jang Minho.

“These guys live comfortably, don’t they?”

“yes. “I think so.”

“So I guess I’ll teach you.”

Jang Min-ho’s face trembled slightly. When his younger brother was kidnapped, he was the man who broke down and bought Donghwa PLUS. He had no idea what he would do this time.

“How do you mean?”

“We have to show that we can play without an association. And recognizing professional gamers as players will show that it is not the association, but the fans who love the game.”

Minho Jang’s heart seemed to be racing at Dojun’s words.

“I am… “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Yes. “Get up and go somewhere with me.”

“Where?”

“Broadcast stations.”

* * *

When Do-jun arrived at Sangam-dong and looked at the Sky Sports building blankly, Min-ho Jang asked.

“Is this your first time here?”

“huh. You must have been there?

“yes. We sometimes conducted player interviews here. “We even got together before the league started.”

Jang Min-ho made a wistful expression as if he was remembering that time.

Dojun nodded and tried to enter the broadcasting station, but security came and blocked him.

“How did you get here?”

“I came to meet announcer Han Ah-reum.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“promise… … .”

Dojun thought, oh no. Announcer Han Ah-reum always said yes whenever we contacted him, so he came without contacting us.

“Oh, I’ll contact you right away.”

Dojun spoke to the security guard after talking on the phone for a while.

“I made an appointment. Get off soon… … .”

Then the guard spoke.

“Look, announcer Han Areum is not that easy to meet. Don’t just pretend to contact them and go in because you have an appointment. There were not just one or two people like that. “I caught them all.”

“yes? “Is there anyone like that?”

The security guard looked ridiculous.

“Over the past few years, hundreds of people have done so. Right now, there is one around here. So please stop.”

As the security guard tried to drag Do-jun out, many people coming in and out of the broadcasting station looked at him.

Jang Min-ho was a little embarrassed, but Do-jun confidently asked.

“I’m not that kind of person. But is announcer Han Ah-reum that popular?”

Jang Min-ho said with a straight face at Do-jun’s words.

“Brother, announcer Han Areum… To us gamers, you are a goddess, a goddess. “If you go somewhere and say something like that, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“goddess? no. It’s because you’re deceived by appearances. Do you know that the goddess’s favorite thing is Daechang? What about drunkenness? Ugh, the other day, while drinking in Shanghai, China, he stretched out and I had to carry him to his room on his back… … .”

It was then. A man who was looking at Do-jun from a little distance came running.

The guard who saw that shouted.

“Oh, go quickly. That person is the person who chases the announcer Han Ah-reum that I mentioned earlier. It’s the truth. “Go quickly.”

At that time, a man came and stood in front of Dojun.

“Hey, who are you! Where can you say such nonsense? dare… “You carried the goddess to the hotel?”

Dojun saw the man. The man looked like an ordinary office worker in his 30s.

“huh. however.”

“this! “What a ridiculous lie!”

It was then. A person rushed out of the broadcasting station building. It was Han Areum.

“Mr. Dojun!”

“uh? “Areum!”

Han Ah-reum ran towards Do-jun, but stopped when she saw the guard and the stalker standing next to her. Then, after a while, she changed her expression and approached me as usual.

“CEO, you should have contacted me in advance to let me know that you would come.”

The guard was surprised by Han Ah-reum’s words. The same was true for men.

said the guard.

“Announcer Han Areum, do you know this person?”

“This is you? Our company was recently acquired by Gold Circle. You are the representative there. “Now you are the owner of our company.”

The guard’s expression hardened at those words.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get to know you… … !”

“no. It was my fault for not contacting you in advance. by the way.”

Dojun said while looking at the man, the stalker.

“Mr. Han Sangjun.”

Stalker Han Sang-jun’s expression hardened.

“How do you say my name…” … .”

‘What’s wrong? ‘It’s all in my phone.’

Dojun read the man’s information on his cell phone through copycat.

“You live in Juan 2-dong, Incheon? Is your father a pastor? And the company… … .”

When Do-jun recited Han Sang-jun’s personal history, Han Sang-jun trembled and shouted.

“who are you!”

“Arum said a little while ago, the owner of Sky Sports here. But as soon as I arrived, I heard that my employee was being stalked? “Can I stay still, can’t I?”

“That, that…” “That’s a conspiracy!”

“A frame-up? I don’t think the photo was taken on your cell phone? Did you also visit near announcer Han Ah-reum’s house? “This is called stalking. Should we call the police and check?”

The man said, holding his cell phone tightly.

“lie! Don’t label people as stalkers! I never did that! “I’m just an ordinary fan!”

“Because I’m a fan… This is no ordinary fan. Then there is nothing we can do. I wasn’t going to tell you this. Sangjun Han, are you having hemorrhoid surgery in three days?”

When Do-jun looked at Han Sang-jun’s butt, Han Sang-jun covered his butt with his hand.

“all… “How did you do that!”

“Isn’t that important? Are you dating a female employee at your company? With Kim Mi-jin.”

Han Sangjun’s face turned pale.

“you… “Are you my stalker?”

“You are the stalker. Sangjun Han, listen carefully. When we meet again, I will tell Mijin Kim all the information I learned today. Including family. Of course, we will meet with the police before that.”

Han Sang-jun’s face turned pale at Do-jun’s words.

‘How on earth did you know?’

Even if I could find out my name and address through the broadcasting station because I had encountered it several times, I couldn’t find out the date of the surgery.

‘Besides, how did Mijin know this information? ‘No one in the company knows, so what on earth is this guy?’

This was information that could not be known normally.

‘if… A backworld tycoon? ‘Areum Han is dating a gang leader?’

Only then did I understand everything.

Sangjun Han thought that if he made a mistake, his life could end.

“crime… sorry. “I will never come again.”

After saying that, Sangjun Han turned around and ran away.

Han Ah-reum saw this and looked at Do-jun with strange eyes.

“CEO, I didn’t know.”

“yes? What?”

Han Ah-reum said with a bright smile.

“Why are you so interested in me? I even know the details of the person stalking me… … .”

“Oh, no, that’s… … .”

Dojun couldn’t bear to say that the copycat had told him.

“Ha, CEO. “She said she proposed to her girlfriend, so I was giving up. Should I stop giving up?”

“… Please give up.”

“Tch, how can you give up if you do this!”

Do-jun said, ‘Hmm-hmmm’ at Han Ah-reum’s words.

“Let’s go inside first. “I have something to talk about about the league.”

“great. But you must have dinner with me tonight.”

* * *

“hmm. “The condition is worse than I thought.”

Dojun frowned after being briefed on the status of Sky Sports by Han Ah-reum and the company executives.

‘30% of the company’s employees have already changed jobs, and this will continue in the future?’

Gold Circle’s acquisition of ‘Haneul Sports’ was a good choice, but it did not win the hearts of all Sky Sports executives and employees.

‘You must be anxious because Gold Circle is not a broadcasting company.’

Kwak Byeong-chan, CEO of Haneul Sports, bowed his head at Do-jun’s hard expression.

“sorry. You worked hard to guarantee positions for all executives and employees, but to show you these results… … .”

Announcer Han Ah-reum also spoke.

“I told CEO Hwang Do-jun that he was a very good and capable person and that maybe Sky Sports could grow bigger, but it was no use… … .”

Dojun shook his head at the apologetic look on Announcer Han Ah-reum’s face.

“Don’t be sorry. You can’t stop someone from going out, right? Let’s take it step by step. “First of all, we can proceed with this league game, right?”

The 2009 league games were hosted by ‘broadcasting companies’ such as Haneul Sports. It was a format in which a broadcaster supported by a sponsor ran a league together with the eSports Association.

Sky Sports CEO Kwak Byeong-chan said.

“that is… “It seems a bit difficult.”

“yes? why?”

“Because the people who came out this time are key personnel.”

Dojun tilted his head.

“Even though it’s not an official match, it’s just a match between users and our players?”

“I think it’s possible at that level… I think it will take some time. At the very least, I think we need to hire new staff. “We don’t have the manpower to find a location right now.”

Dojun sighed and recalled his past life.

‘This place is just like a game company.’

Many game companies are created every year, but many more are closing down.

‘When things got difficult for the company, the first people to leave were the talented people. ‘Because other companies are scouting us.’

In his previous life, Dojun had never received a scouting offer.

Dojun tapped the handle of the chair with his finger.

‘How do I do it?’

While Dojun was thinking, his cell phone rang.

[Wata PC Room owner Bang Tae-soo.]

Dojun felt happy to hear the name he had not heard in a long time.

‘Wait, PC room?’

Dojun recalled the time when he used to broadcast at a Wata PC room. Dojun asked right away.

“Hey, boss. “Would it be okay if we only held the finals, not the league, and held the venue at a PC room?”

Han Ah-reum immediately responded to Do-jun’s words.

“uh? Like the old days?”

“that’s right.”

“Boss, isn’t that okay? “I think the current workforce will be sufficient.”

Kwak Byeong-chan answered.

“hmm… That’s okay, but is that enough?”

Dojun smiled and answered.

“This is not an official league. The main purpose is to introduce what kind of game Legends of League is to Korean gamers. Well, along with that, we also promote our players.”

Kwak Byeong-chan responded to Do-jun’s words.

“I think that’s enough. But, will the game be promoted to that extent?”

Dojun grinned.

“The game is that good. “This game will dominate Korea for at least the next 10 years.”

Dojun said, recalling his past life, but no one was present who believed it.

Dojun said something that people could understand.

“I’m preparing something separately to make it a box office success.”

Only then did people nod their heads.

“All right. “Then now all I have to do is invite you to a PC room.”

“Don’t worry about that either. “There is a PC room with a deep connection to Haneul Sports.”

* * *

“No, when did these bastards send you a reply and they still haven’t responded?”

eSport Association President Jong-geun Yoon called the chief secretary.

“Chief Secretary. Answer, are you sure you sent it correctly? “Please come find me.”

“yes. “I did that.”

“But why haven’t I heard back!”

The chief secretary answered with an awkward smile.

“that is… “I guess I’ll just move on.”

“what? “Without us?”

“yes.”

Jong-geun Yoon hit the desk with his fist.

“You crazy bastards, aren’t you crazy? They said they would play a league game. Then there must be professional players, right? “The people who created the gaming team don’t even register as players?”

Player registration was the prerogative of the association.

“… Rumor has it… “It seems like we are running our own league now.”

“what? how?”

“After hearing the rumor, I logged on to the game in the morning and found myself competing in the game. “Of these, 16 people will be selected and a tournament will be held in a PC room.”

At that moment, Yoon Jong-geun tilted his head.

“what? Internet cafe?”

“yes.”

Jong-geun Yoon made a blank expression and then laughed out loud.

“Hahaha. “A PC room, a PC room!”

Jong-geun Yoon laughed for a while and then said.

“it’s okay. Don’t worry about it any more. If it’s obvious, it’s going to be ruined. The final battle will be held in a PC room, will gamers be interested? Besides, since it’s a new game, there won’t be any famous people. “This will definitely fail.”

“that… That’s right.”

“Leave it alone. Only when it fails like that do you realize how valuable the association is. However, by contacting other game teams,… League of Legends? “Please don’t participate there.”

“All right.”

As the chief secretary left, Yoon Jong-geun smiled bitterly.

“Is it just a PC room competition that ignores the association? If that goes well, I’ll change my last name, last name!”

* * *

After finishing the meeting at Sky Sports, Do-jun came to have dinner with announcer Han A-reum.

It was a tripe alley in Jongno.

– Chi-ik.

As the daechang began to cook, Han Areum’s eyes lit up and she was fiddling with her chopsticks. As soon as it was ripe, she was ready to grab it and eat it.

‘ha. That stalker should have seen this.’

“Wait just a moment. “It’s almost done.”

“i know. It’s not like I only eat it once or twice. what.”

Han Ah-reum put a piece of mushroom that was cooking like offal into her mouth and asked.

“By the way, CEO.”

“It’s just the two of us, let’s call each other like we used to.”

“lol. Mr. Dojun. What do you mean by preparing separately for the hit you mentioned earlier?”

Dojun said with a grin.

“Originally I was going to keep it a secret, but I’ll tell Areum.”

Dojun took out his smartphone and showed the American Roll page. Han Areum looked surprised when she saw that.

“what? “Isn’t the competition only held in Korea?”

“We’re doing it in the U.S. too.”

“Then what?”

“The winners from the United States will come to Korea. And we will compete against the Korean winners.”

Areum shouted at Dojun’s unexpected words.

“and! “When those players come to Korea, I’ll have to interview them, right?”

Dojun also thought it was Han Ah-reum.

“That interview will be a historic interview.”

“Do you think this match will be that successful?”

Dojun said as he put the cooked Daechang on Areum’s plate.

“Sure. “That will be the interview announcing the start of the World Championships starting next year.”
