Episode 204: Battle

Han Ah-reum, who had just swallowed the large spear handed to her by Do-jun, blinked.

“role… A cup? Phew. “What kind of World Cup were you following?”

“that’s right. LOL is the first letter of Legend Of League. “By combining that with the World Cup, we get the World Cup.”

Han Ah-reum spoke after chewing the large intestine.

“Well, it’s easy to understand. however. “You’re saying the World Cup will be held starting next year?”

“yes! This game is about seeing that possibility. We’ll see. This is going to be a big hit. “Even if it doesn’t become as popular as the World Cup, it will be the most popular tournament in the world, at least in the gaming field.”

Dojun recalled the World Cup from his previous life.

‘It was awesome. Even though the stadium tickets were quite expensive, they were sold out every time. What about the number of spectators!’

At Dojun’s words, Han Areum put down her chopsticks.

Han Ah-reum, who likes Daechang, said she felt really uncomfortable putting down her chopsticks.

“Dojun, I trust you. Dojun succeeded in what everyone had said would fail. But this time is different. When it comes to Worlds, you think about not just the game but also the broadcast, right?”

“yes. that’s right.”

“Dojun, I’m not worried about this broadcast. As Dojun said, if we say that we are going to have a national war against the United States, he will definitely react. But after that, I honestly don’t know.”

Dojun immediately realized what Areum’s concerns were.

“You’re saying that I don’t know if LoL will be popular enough to hold Worlds, right?”

“yes. For a broadcast to be successful, there must be many users who like the game… “To be honest, I don’t know about LoL yet.”

Dojun grinned.

“Mr. Areum, you will see the answer in this competition.”

In response to Dojun’s confident answer, Areum took a sip of soju.

“driving me crazy. Do you know that Mr. Dojun is a really bad person? I gave up, barely gave up, but it’s hard to give up when you show me like this!”

Dojun said as he poured soju into Areum’s empty glass.

“Instead, I’ll give you something else. I once told you to become a professional esports announcer, right? “This time, I will take on overall responsibility for broadcasting LoL tournaments starting next year.”

Areum’s eyes shone. As much as she liked Do-jun, Areum was also greedy about work.

“There is nothing wrong with those words!”

“Sure. However, this is assuming that this competition is successful.”

Areum’s eyes burned.

“Don’t worry. “I will mobilize all my contacts, or rather, my contacts at the broadcasting station, to make it a very spectacular competition.”

As Han Ah-reum raised her soju glass, Do-jun also raised his soju glass and clinked it together.

“For Worlds!”

“for!”

The two took a shot of soju and put it down. When about five bottles of soju had disappeared, Han Ah-reum with a slightly reddish expression asked.

“By the way, Mr. Dojun.”

Dojun, with his tongue half twisted, answered.

“yes.”

“When I think about it, this game… “There are more things to prepare. Are you ready for this too?”

Dojun smiled and answered.

“all… It’s all me… preparation… i did it. “Don’t worry.”

Dojun’s tongue was slightly twisted, but Han Areum was not. She asked with clear pronunciation, like an announcer.

“is it so? “And the commentator?”

Dojun blinked.

“Commentary… Commissioner?”

“yes. The most important thing in a game broadcast is the game, but the commentators are also important, right? “If the game is 70%, the commentator does 30%.”

“that’s right. Commentary… Commissioner: It’s important. Why is that… … .”

For a moment, Dojun seemed to sober up.

“No… “Is that so?”

“yes. Although there are many Galaxy Craft commentators, there are no Legends of League commentators. “It’s a game that has just been released.”

Han Ah-reum asked Do-jun, who was dazed, again.

“Dojun, you are ready to be a commentator, right?”

* * *

Jang Min-ho bought a box of canned coffee from a supermarket and came to the office of ‘Black Cat,’ a gaming team belonging to Black Cat Studio.

The office was located in Munjeong-dong, Seoul.

‘This is where the company that created the Cross Warrior was located?’

Minho Jang entered the office, remembering what Dojun had told him.

“Oh, Minho hyung is here!”

When entering the office, numerous people welcomed Jang Min-ho.

“uh. “Is everyone practicing?”

“yes.”

The professional gamers were frantically engrossed in the game. Galaxy Craft, Soccer Online, and Legends of League were constantly playing on the monitor.

Among them, the players who had Legends of League on on their monitors didn’t even look at Minho when he came with them. That’s because I was so focused.

‘Is it tomorrow?’

It was soon the round of 16. Fortunately, all Black Cat players had advanced to the round of 32.

‘but. It’s a game that has just opened, and we only eat and play games, so it doesn’t make sense if we can’t come this far.’

One person who had just finished practicing took off his headset, turned his head, and looked at Minho.

“uh! “Minho, when did you come?”

“I just arrived. By the way, Dongjun, your skills have improved a lot?”

Jeon Dong-jun made a bitter expression at Minho’s words.

“It has increased, but it is close. My head thinks I should do this, but my body doesn’t follow. “I keep coming back to this habit from Galaxy.”

“Everyone is like that. So cheer up. know? “This is an opportunity that will never come again.”

“I know, this is the luck given to me. If it weren’t for Black Cat, I would still be working part-time at a convenience store. So I’m working harder.”

Minho patted Dongjun Jeon on the shoulder and said.

“okay. Work hard and be sure to make your mark as the best player in the Legends of League tomorrow!”

“yes!”

Jeon Dong-jun shouted loudly. It wasn’t just Jeon Dong-jun. The other players who finished the practice game also had their eyes shining.

“By the way, they say the team owner is coming tomorrow.”

“Really?”

The players were very nervous.

“Don’t be nervous. Just do what you normally do. “I told you how hard you guys are working.”

Only then did the players breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, the players were playing the game 12 hours a day.

Originally, I didn’t go to this extent, but after losing my job and then gaining it, my mindset was different than before.

“Oh, and. “I know there are people who are disappointed that the finals were held in a PC room.”

Several players bowed their heads. It wasn’t because I had bad feelings.

However, since it was a new opportunity, everyone wanted to show themselves to a larger audience in a better location.

“But it’s too early to be disappointed. “Representatives from the United States are coming to the finals.”

“yes?”

Everyone was surprised.

“I guess everyone hasn’t connected to the US server, but the same league is being played in the US right now. “The final is a national team match between Korea and the United States.”

The players widened their eyes.

“that… Is that real? brother?”

Jang Min-ho responded to Jeon Dong-jun’s words.

“okay. I heard it directly from the club owner. So, the team owner is coming tomorrow. So don’t be sorry if you do it in a PC room and do your best!”

“yes!”

A simple confrontation and a confrontation between countries were different in terms of mindset. The players did their best to prepare for the game. I practiced for more than 12 hours.

But early that morning, a problem arose.

* * *

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, Jeon Dong-jun grabbed his stomach and started rolling on the floor.

“Dongjun!”

Minho stood up and called Dongjun, but Dongjun just started screaming.

“My stomach… My stomach.”

“hey! “Call 119, 119!”

After a while, 119 came and took Dongjun to the hospital.

The next day, Dojun came to the ‘Black Cat Game Team’ office and received a report on what happened last night.

“So, Jeon Dong-jun was taken away early in the morning due to urinary stones?”

Minho Jang answered.

“yes. They said they would receive treatment this morning, so they could return as early as the afternoon, but the game… … .”

Dojun was disappointed.

‘Jeon Dong-Jun said he was one of the five people he has worked with so far, but it can’t be helped.’

“There is a preliminary entry, right? “Let’s send one of them in.”

“All right. but… Dongjun will be very disappointed.”

It was a golden opportunity that I got when I thought my life as a professional gamer was over. But I ended up missing that opportunity.

“But I can’t change the schedule. And health comes first. By the way, where is Jeon Dong-jun hospitalized?”

Do-jun, who found out about the hospital from Jang Min-ho, went to the hospital right away.

Do-jun tilted his head as he visited the hospital room where Jeon Dong-jun was hospitalized.

‘Jeon Dong-jun, Jeon Dong-jun… … . ‘I’ve heard this name a lot.’

At first, I wondered if he knew because he was a Galaxy Craft pro gamer. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that wasn’t it.

‘Where did I hear this name? I think I heard it in a past life… ‘I don’t remember.’

As I was entering the hospital room, I received a text message from Minho Jang.

[Representative, the game has started.]

Dojun sighed when he saw the name ‘Jeon Dongjun’ written in front of the hospital room.

Now that the game has started, there is no longer any need for Jeon Dong-jun to interfere with the tournament.

Dojun entered the hospital room with a sad heart.

There was a man there, looking at the ceiling with a blank expression.

“Jeon Dong-jun?”

Jeon Dong-jun turned his head at Do-jun’s words.

“who… Ah, club owner.”

Jeon Dong-jun had seen Do-jun at the founding ceremony of the Black Cat gaming team.

“Please lie down.”

“it’s okay. “I felt better after receiving treatment in the morning.”

Dojun felt sad to see that.

‘If only I had been treated a little earlier… … .’

“thank god. “When I asked the doctor, he said that if I don’t overexert myself just for today, there won’t be any problems in the future.”

“yes. “I will show my skills properly starting from the next game.”

Jeon Dong-jun shouted exaggeratedly loudly.

Jeon Dong-jun knew that he would not be able to participate in this competition. He felt like the sky was falling, but he couldn’t show it in front of the club owner.

Dojun tilted his head when he heard Jeon Dongjun’s voice.

‘uh? This voice… … .’

At that moment, Dojun realized where he heard this voice.

‘That’s right, the LOL commentator from my past life!’

That was the voice of a LoL game commentator that I had heard countless times in my past life.

[Oh, don’t use your skills like that!]

[right! Wow wow! I ate almost all of it!]

It seemed as if the voice that had added to the fun of watching the game with its unique roar was heard in Dojun’s ears.

‘crazy! Jeon Dong-jun… Was that Jeon Dong-jun, a commentator?’

Dojun opened his eyes wide and said.

“I am Jeon Dong-jun.”

“yes.”

“I have a favor to ask.”

“What favor… … . no way… Are you kicking me out because you don’t need me anymore? … ? So the team owner came in person… … .”

Do-jun said to Jeon Dong-jun, who was alone in his delusions.

“No. No. “No, please repeat after me.”

“What?”

“yes. Please say this. ‘Oh, don’t use your skills like that!’”

Jeon Dong-jun imitated Do-jun’s words as if reading a Korean language book.

“Oh, don’t use your skills like that.”

“No, no. Other than that, um… There are people who get frustrated when playing with their teammates, right? “A person who uses skills incorrectly!”

In an instant, Jeon Dong-jun’s eyes changed.

“There is!”

“Tell me while you were thinking about it. “Scream as much as you want without hesitation!”

Do-jun’s words reminded Jeon Dong-jun of such a situation. He didn’t have to go far. There were countless situations like that a day.

“kid! “I told you not to use your skills like that!”

When Jeon Dong-jun shouted, everyone in the same hospital room looked this way.

Normally, Do-jun would have noticed right away and stopped like this, but right now, Do-jun was excited.

‘This is it! The voice of the commentator I heard in my past life! Oh my god, commentator Jeon Dong-jun was right next to me!’

Dojun said to Jeon Dongjun.

“Then, tell me this too.”

Dojun continued speaking while looking at Jeon Dongjun.

“Dongjun is trying to catch the elder dragon. We’re almost ready to eat, but the opposing team comes and fights us. “How do you think you’ll feel then?”

“elder… A dragon? what is that?”

Dojun thought, oh no. Elder Dragon was content that had not been updated yet.

“that… So, what about Baron? “I mean Baron Nashor.”

“ah! “You know that!”

Jeon Dong-jun didn’t know why Do-jun was asking him to do this. But when he saw Dojun’s excited expression, he instinctively felt that it was not a bad thing for him.

Jeon Dong-jun closed his eyes and remembered.

‘I’m going to capture the Baron, but I’m fighting with the enemies? But you’re almost on the verge of catching it?’

When I thought of that urgent situation, excitement welled up throughout my body.

“and! Baron side, Baron! Half blood! iced coffee! I ate almost all of it! “I ate almost all of it!”

Jeon Dong-jun’s voice rang loudly in the hospital room.

Surprised nurses came in.

“What happen? “What do you eat?”

Dojun thought, oh no.

“it’s nothing. I think this guy is talking in his sleep. “I think I became resentful of not being able to eat because of the urinary stones.”

The nurse looked at Jeon Dong-jun and saw that his eyes were closed.

“I don’t know why you sleep sitting down, but I do. You can now eat without any problem. “You can be discharged in the afternoon.”

When the nurse left, Jeon Dong-jun opened his eyes.

“CEO… Was it okay?”

“Are you okay? “It was the best.”

I don’t understand, but Jeon Dong-jun scratched his head and asked.

“But CEO, may I ask why you asked me to follow this?”

“Sure. Jeon Dong-jun, don’t you want to participate in this game?”

Jeon Dong-jun opened his eyes wide. That was what he wanted most.

“I’d like to, but the game is already… … .”

“Oh, I can’t participate in the game. I have no choice but to participate in the next competition. But that’s not the only way to participate in the competition.”

Jeon Dong-jun tilted his head.

“yes? “Is there any other way I can participate?”

“yes!”

Do-jun said, holding Jeon Dong-jun’s hand tightly.

“Commentator. Jeon Dong-Jun, please become a LoL commentator for this tournament.”

Yoon Jong-geun, president of the eSport Association, gritted his teeth at the secretary’s report.

“what? Not only are you playing in Korea, but you’re also holding a tournament in the US? And the U.S. winning team will come to Korea and play the finals?”

“… yes. That’s how the article came out.

– Boom!

Jong-geun Yoon hit the desk with his fist.

“No, what are you doing, you idiot! “I couldn’t figure out this important thing until it was published!”

“crime… sorry.”

Jong-Geun Yoon said, loosening his tie and loosening it.

“Do you know what this means? This means that the attention of Korean people who like national competitions is focused! Then you know what happens? People will know too. “It is possible to have national competitions without an esports association.”

Association President Jong-Geun Yoon seemed to be heartbroken. This was something that couldn’t just be overlooked.

‘The very existence of the association is shaken.’

It was an eSports association that was already being criticized for match-fixing. In the meantime, if it became known that a national competition was held without the help of the association, there would no longer be a need for an eSport association.

‘Damn it! ‘I was deceived by the idea that it was held in a PC room.’

If it had been held in a gym or a large space like usual, I would have been interested, but I was very relieved that it was held in a PC room.

“Chief Secretary. If this continues, you, me, and everyone in the association will become unemployed. know?”

“I know.”

“Then come with a plan! “There’s a solution to this!”

The chief secretary was taken aback by Yoon Jong-geun’s words. There was no way I could come up with a solution just by shouting.

“that is… There’s nothing you can do right now. If I had time, I would have held a competition to divert attention… … .”

At that moment, Yoon Jong-geun’s eyes widened.

“Competition? Dividing attention? That’s right!”

“yes?”

“Secretary, contact the game team. “When these guys hold their competition in 10 days, we will also hold a Galaxy Craft competition.”

The chief secretary asked in surprise.

“yes? In ten days? It’s impossible. “The preparation period is too short!”

“no. Contact me. “Everyone will say it’s possible.”

“yes?”

Looking at the chief secretary with a blank expression, Yoon Jong-geun closed his eyes tightly.

‘Really, if it wasn’t for my brother-in-law, I would have cut him off a long time ago.’

Jong-geun Yoon opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

“Like you said, it wouldn’t have been possible under normal circumstances. In normal times, when we said we would hold a competition within 10 days, all the gaming teams would have said they couldn’t do it. But things are different now.”

The chief secretary tilted his head.

“What do you mean it’s different?”

“Ugh. All gaming teams are holding their breath because of match-fixing, right? To be precise, it’s a state where you can’t come out even if you want to.”

In an instant, the chief secretary’s eyes widened.

“no way?”

“Do you understand now? Please contact us, we will welcome your offer. The guy who says he won’t do it, tell me. “I’ll kick you out of the next league!”

“ah… All right.”

“Well, that… “Do not contact the Black Cat Game Team!”

“All right.”

What Yoon Jong-geun said was true. He said that the majority of gaming teams said they would participate in the competition.

“President. Everyone said they would attend. However, sponsors are the problem. Publicity is also a problem.”

“don’t worry. Even if I don’t know anything else, I’m confident in my connections. If you have connections in the political and business world, it’s not difficult to get a sponsor. I’ll do that, so you can invite celebrities and do anything to get publicity! ”

“All right.”

“I have to be sure. “This fight is won by who attracts more attention.”

“Don’t worry.”

As the chief secretary left, Yoon Jong-geun took a deep breath.

‘Hwang Do-jun, even if you have a lot of money, you won’t have connections. This competition will be an opportunity to prove that.’

Jong-geun Yoon was really confident.

‘No matter how good the atmosphere is, the number of fans interested in Galaxy Craft and new games is different.’

True to his confidence, Jong-geun Yoon completed his preparation for the competition almost completely in just 10 days.

And then the day came.
