Episode 206: Final Winner
Jong-geun Yoon trembled at the report from the chief secretary.
“this… What’s happening! “Why is Chairman Oh Geon-joo here?”
The chief secretary answered, not knowing what to do.
“It’s not clear, but there is a rumor that the Chairman’s youngest daughter, Oh Tae-yeon, and Hwang Do-jun are not in an ordinary relationship.”
Jong-geun Yoon distorted his face.
“You idiot, why are you saying that now?”
“… I couldn’t tell you because it was just a rumor. And it doesn’t make sense, does it? “I can’t even imagine being on the same page with someone who just makes games.”
They were where they are today thanks to the game makers, but neither Jong-geun Yoon nor the Chief Secretary realized that.
“It’s a big deal. How do I solve this? Chairman Oh, are you still the main sponsor of the World Cyber Games?”
“you’re right.”
It was no exaggeration to say that the global gaming competition ‘World Cyber Game Competition’ was run by the power of understanding.
‘I was planning to make this competition a success and move on to the World Cyber Games competition next time.’
My head hurt.
‘I can’t help it. ‘It’s no use regretting what’s already passed.’
“What are the viewership ratings?”
“It fell a little bit. “It’s 0.8%.”
0.8% was also great.
“it’s okay. There are no more variables. It’s a PC room competition anyway, and we’re the official competition. “Don’t worry about it, just do well in today’s competition.”
“yes. All right.”
It was then. Another person was introduced in the YouTube broadcast.
[And lastly, the current Minister of Strategy and Finance and Vice Minister.]
Yoon Jong-geun, who saw this, suddenly stood up.
“Nonsense!”
“episode… President!”
“why! why! “The current minister and vice minister are over there!”
This had enormous significance. The moment the minister appeared, it became an official competition recognized by the government.
“me too… I do not know. “This is ridiculous!”
“Right now, contact the government. right now!”
* * *
Dojun laughed as he watched the increasing number of simultaneous viewers on YouTube.
‘There were over 20,000 people. If this trend continues, I think the number will soon surpass 30,000.’
Sky Sports must have also heard this news, and everyone looked encouraged.
‘Like Coach Hiddink said, I’m still hungry. and… The true meaning of holding this competition has not been shown yet.’
Dojun saw the players sitting on chairs.
‘They are real. And the fans who love them are real.’
When Dojun looked at Han Areum, Han Areum nodded and said.
[Now, I will introduce the players from both teams who will be playing today. First is the American team.]
Each member of the US team was introduced. However, the chat window was quiet. I didn’t know anything about him except that he was American and the winner of an American tournament.
But it wasn’t just one person.
[Sneaky Player!]
Sneaky stood up, grabbed the skirt of her maid uniform, and bowed.
In an instant, the chat window exploded.
– Ouch! Save my eyes!
– Is that a man?
– Look at that square face. Is that a man or a woman?
– however? Why are you wearing a maid uniform?
– I don’t know. You guys see something strange for a day or two?
Everyone was shocked that the man was dressed as a maid. However, on the contrary, the number of concurrent users was increasing rapidly.
‘I knew Sneaky was famous for cross-dressing in his past life, but I thought he only did that after he retired from professional gaming.’
Dojun couldn’t tell if he didn’t know Sneaky well or if history had changed.
‘But one thing is certain, skill!’
Now everyone is looking at me funny because of my cosplay, but Sneaky’s skills that I saw on YouTube were no joke.
‘Well, Sneaky was a franchise star of the American C9 gaming team in his past life. Will we be able to see that skill today?’
Dojun suddenly remembered one person.
‘But if Sneaky already stands out… ‘Wouldn’t that player from our country appear soon?’
Dojun thought of the ‘LOL’ player who was the best not only in Korea but in the world.
It was then. Announcer Han Ah-reum stopped introducing American players and started introducing Korean players.
[Minho Jang.]
Every time the players’ names were called, the chat window lit up.
– Minho oppa!
– Ugh, I’ve been waiting!
– I can’t believe I saw you here! brother!
Dojun’s last bet was ‘meeting’.
‘This is my final card that allows me to meet players and fans I never met again in my previous life.’
After all, the essence of the game competition was the professional gamers and fans. Because of them, the game was not just a game, but could become a competition.
Every time players were introduced one by one, the internet portal search bar was buzzing.
It meant that the fans missed them that much.
And when all the players were introduced, Han Ah-reum spoke.
[Everyone, the introduction is not over yet. I have a very nice person to introduce. however… I was going to introduce this person, but he said he would do it himself?]
The camera focused on the commentator’s seat. There was a man there wearing glasses and a bright smile.
[Hello everyone. You have waited a long time.]
[This is Wata PC Room, which is holding the world’s first Legends of League competition.]
[I am Jeon Dong-jun, a professional gamer and today’s special commentator.]
* * *
Do Bong-su could not control his body.
‘Dongjun hyung! Dongjun hyung is back!’
Even though he was a Legends of League commentator and not a Galaxy Craft player, it was okay.
‘Just seeing my brother again made me feel better.’
Bongsu thought that seeing his face again was enough.
‘I said I’d be doing a special commentary just for today, so you’ll be able to watch the game next time. After all, my brother’s specialty is games!’
And that thought changed after the game started.
[Ah, don’t use your skills like that! I told you that when I was practicing! Dear viewers, I explained this a little while ago, right? You can never use it like that.]
It was a completely biased commentary, but it was fun.
‘I knew you were good at speaking, but I didn’t know you were this good at it.’
What I especially liked was the commentary that explained Legend of League in detail.
‘The explanation is so good that even people like me who saw LoL today for the first time can easily understand. And it’s delicious too.’
That wasn’t all.
[right! Wow wow!]
Jeon Dong-jun shouted in excitement, to the point where Bong-su’s body was shaking.
[I ate almost everything! I ate it! Jang Min-ho! Baron! Ate!]
Bongsu was completely absorbed in Jeon Dongjun’s words. It was well over two hours later that Bongsu came to his senses again.
[Korea won!]
At those words, Bongsu secretly screamed.
“crazy! won “I won!”
It was then. The door opened and a person came in.
“Brother, it’s too loud.”
“Sorry sorry.”
“What are you looking at that you’re screaming at?”
“It’s a Legends of League match, and it’s called ‘Worlds Cup.’”
Bongsu’s younger brother tilted his head.
“Worlds Cup? Fun?”
“Yeah, I saw it for the first time today and it looks fun. “I’m going to install it now and give it a try.”
“Brother, can I watch from the side too?”
Bongsu said while stroking the head of his younger brother, who was still in elementary school.
“of course. Sanghyuk, do whatever you want. No, shall we create an account and try it together?”
Bongsu created his own account first and then had his younger brother create an account.
“By the way, Sanghyuk. What are you going to nickname?”
“nickname… hmm… … .”
Sanghyuk thought for a moment and then typed the keyboard himself.
“Taker. “I want to be the taker.”
* * *
During the game, Dojun clenched his fists.
‘Wow, Sneaky, that’s no joke.’
The winner of the first round was the United States. The main character of victory was Sneaky.
‘The Korean players who looked down on me because they were wearing maid uniforms suffered. But I think we can get through this.’
It was just as Dojun thought.
“Now, as usual. Just do what you normally do!”
Fortunately, Jang Min-ho consoled the players and proceeded with the game. Both teams hit each other and fought fiercely.
After a little over two hours, Jeon Dong-jun, who was now hoarse, shouted.
[Korea won the final with a score of 3 to 2.]
The chat room caught fire again.
– Crazy!
– It’s fun, right?
– Wow, what is that maid? I underestimated it, but it was a trick.
– Korean players are also great, aren’t they? Never give up and be persistent.
– This game pops up. I was confident after watching the game today. This game is perfect for Koreans. The holiday game is no longer Galaxy, but LoL.
– that’s right. I thought that too. Galaxy Craft had a SF barrier, but this doesn’t, right?
– that’s right. Besides, I can only control one of my characters, right? Just right.
After all the games were over, the PC room was in a festive mood.
Not only the victorious Korean team, but also the American team smiled and shook hands with the Korean team players.
Dojun also stood up, shook hands with the players, and approached Han Areum. There was one last thing to find out.
“What is the final number?”
Han Ah-reum said with a very excited expression.
“100,000! “There are 100,000 concurrent users on YouTube!”
“If it’s 100,000… It’s probably a YouTube record, right? “I need to call Larry.”
“Mr. Dojun. “We’ll do that later, there’s something more important.”
“What is it?”
Han Ah-reum pointed to a monitor. The Galaxy Craft viewership ratings were listed there.
“0.5%? oh my god. “So, who won?”
“Of course we are! There may be more viewers on the Galaxy side, but our videos are still getting more views! And there was an uproar on the Internet!”
Dojun clenched his fists after checking the Internet.
Game reporters were already posting articles.
[Worlds Cup? Korea wins!]
[America’s made pro gamer, Sneaky? Already a star!]
[Commentator Jeon Dong-jun. Converting from a player to a full-fledged commentator?]
Do-jun chuckled at the article that people picked out with a title they thought would be of interest.
‘As expected, reporters are great.’
It was then. Several people came up next to Dojun. It was Oh Geon-ju, Oh Tae-yeon, and people from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance.
“and! Congratulations brother! The World Cup that my brother mentioned. If the atmosphere is like this, next year will be really big, right?”
Although this match was not Worlds, people were already calling it ‘Worlds.’
Do-jun grinned at Oh Tae-yeon’s words.
“Whatever you think, you will see more. And Chairman Oh Geon-joo. Minister of Strategy and Finance and Deputy Minister, thank you for coming. “It’s noisy here, so let’s go to the coffee shop below.”
* * *
Dojun talked with Oh Geon-ju and the Minister and Vice Minister of Strategy and Finance at the coffee shop.
“I’m sorry, but meeting VIPs might be a bit difficult.”
In response to Dojun’s answer, the Minister of Strategy and Finance spoke urgently.
“The VIP would like to meet you. “This country needs someone like Representative Hwang.”
Dojun shook his head.
“I’m just a guy who likes making games. Lehman… I just got lucky, so don’t worry about it. You won’t have that luck anymore.”
The Minister of Strategy and Finance looked sad in response to Do-jun’s answer.
“In that case, please allow me to at least repay you. If it weren’t for CEO Hwang, I wouldn’t be here. He would have been a traitor to this country and would have gone to jail or died. Please, if there is anything you want, please let me know.”
Dojun scratched the back of his head at the words of the Minister of Strategy and Finance.
‘I don’t have anything else I’d like to ask you to do. ‘What should I talk about?’
While Dojun was pondering, this match-fixing incident suddenly came to mind.
“Um, you know about this Galaxy Craft match-fixing incident, right?”
“of course.”
“Do you know that the eSports Association knew about this match-fixing in advance?”
The Minister of Strategy and Finance blinked. He seemed unaware.
‘Well, it’s not under your jurisdiction, so it’s natural that you don’t know.’
“no. Are you saying the association knew about it and tolerated it?”
“yes. “If you do a little research, you will be able to find out right away.”
“this… Those who will kill you! “I will go and tell the Minister of Culture and Sports to kick them out immediately.”
Dojun smiled broadly.
“yes. please. And I ask that the new chairman be a proper person.”
“Then, CEO Hwang is the chairman…” .”
“no. “I have to make games.”
“ah! You said you should make a Goguryeo game. All right. “I will find out if I am a sure person.”
When the conversation between Do-jun and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance ended smoothly, Chairman Oh Geon-ju, who was next to him, spoke.
“Then, please ask me too. I owe you a lot for this. “Is there anything you want?”
“haha. What kind of big deal is this? No… .”
Dojun, who was about to say no, stopped. It was because I remembered my past life.
‘World Cyber Game Competition. It ends in a few years. Oh Seong gave up his support.’
In a past life, our country’s gaming competitions completely lost momentum due to Galaxy Craft match-fixing.
Meanwhile, a few years later, the World Cyber Game Competition ended and the competition itself disappeared.
‘At this time, China came up with a scary attack.’
Do-jun said while looking at Oh Geon-ju.
“I have one request to make.”
“Just say something, anything.”
“Is it because of PC games that you are sponsoring the World Cyber Game Competition?”
“yes. “We are sponsoring it after looking at the PC market.”
“So, what will you do if the PC market shrinks in the future and moves to the mobile market?”
Oh Geon-ju thought about it for a while before answering Do-jun’s question.
“We will have to look at Ohseong’s situation at that time, but if that happens, shouldn’t we stop sponsoring and move towards mobile? “Because companies must move in the direction of profit.”
Dojun nodded. Unlike before, Dojun was running several companies. He understood Ogunju’s heart.
“Then how about this? When that time comes, I will sponsor the competition on Ohseong’s behalf.”
“You mean that?”
“yes. So, if you feel that way, please tell me.”
Oh Geon-ju responded to Do-jun’s answer.
“hmm. So how about this? Ohsung will never give up its sponsorship of the World Cyber Game Competition. Instead, why don’t you start sponsoring me now?”
Dojun was surprised.
‘Are you serious?’
The ‘World Cyber Games’ was like the Olympics of the gaming world. Supporting this place meant being in a key position here.
And sponsors were given the right to choose the ‘game’ to compete in the ‘game competition’.
‘If I can choose the game, users all over the world will see it.’
One of the most common production costs for game companies was promotional costs.
If 10 billion was the production cost, 6 billion was used to make it, and about 4 billion was used for promotional expenses.
‘That’s why I’m trying all sorts of ways to save on promotional expenses. I even asked YouTubers who specialize in game reviews to promote the game.’
But there was one most effective way to promote it.
‘That’s what makes a game an eSport.’
Once a game becomes an eSports sport, the game is automatically promoted through broadcasts during each competition. Of course, users came in, which all led to sales.
‘This is my chance to let the world know about the games I’ve made!’
Do-jun looked at Oh Geon-ju. Oh Geon-ju was smiling while looking at Do-jun.
“It’s an offer I can’t refuse. “I will accept your offer.”
* * *
The new year has dawned and it is 2010. After the World Cup ended, the ‘League of Legends’ craze began to spread in Korea.
However, Galaxy Craft was not completely dead like in its previous life.
Each person was growing with their own fandom. Sports games such as Soccer Online also grew, and MMORPGs also began to grow larger.
Dojun loved seeing all the games grow.
‘Wata PC room has become a complete sacred place. haha.’
Bang Tae-soo, the owner of Wata PC Room, was doing so well in business that he even bought the PC room building.
‘Well, 70% is owned by banks.’
Dojun woke up late in his room for the first time in a long time.
‘January 2010.’
Dojun opened the status window and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. There was a sparkling message there.
In fact, this message came out several months ago. However, because of his younger brother’s work, I planned to see Jang Min-ho once his work was finished.
‘If you look at this message alone, it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but if you combine it with other messages, it doesn’t seem that unusual.’
Do-Jun recalled ‘Sense of Evil’, which he had previously leveled up.
For Dojun, the only place that was not reality was ‘lost memories.’
‘if… Aren’t you going to see malice in this lost memory or in the lost memories you see in the future?’
Dojun was worried and postponed the playback of ‘Lost Memories’ until everything was completed.
‘But now it’s time to see it.’
Dojun recalled the ‘Lost Memories’ he last saw.
“I told Team Leader Yang that I was going to the United States.”
Do-jun thought that perhaps everything that happened to him began with this ‘going to America’.
That’s why I tried to solve everything and see the ‘lost memories’.
“good! see.”
Dojun touched the YES button.
