Ilsung Flower, the first team in the world to join the league, to wear an in-game uniforms.
Furthermore, after checking the flower items Jae-ho received for practice, they were even more energetic.
The team members have been using Jae-ho's flower items all the time, but they dare to say that what they received this time was the best ever.
"Optional is really tough......... How much are you going to sell these for?"
I asked for the finished meal, but I couldn't sell it even if I wanted to.
It was because they came out after dozens of repetitions.
"And let's use it only for practice right now. They're not all in the garden anyway, and they come to the garden to get this."
It was easy to manage what Jae-ho had himself.
Meanwhile, Woo Hyun is the only one who didn't receive a flower item.
He didn't expect the input to be available until the middle of the league, and before that, there were things that had to be settled first.
To confirm the truth and source of the rumors directed at Woo Hyun.
Unless that was resolved, it was difficult to properly participate in practice, let alone play.
It's not easy to pretend to be calm in the terrible rumors and finger-pointing that surrounds you...….
"It's okay."
"Uh..."?
Du Pyo, who was conducting a separate meeting with Woo Hyun, was embarrassed.
I wondered if he was trying to pretend to be okay, but Woo-hyun's expression did not really show any worries.
"Well, are you really okay?”
"Yes, I have no intention of being swayed by such a strange rumor because I am confident in myself.”
a fresh-born freshman
He is so confident that he could not help but wonder if he was caught in the wrong department.
I thought he was just a weak character. It's harder than I thought.’
Two votes admiring Jae-ho's eyes.
But the reality was a little different.
"I learned a lot from hunting with Shiva Guild."
"Huh? Poetry... what...…?”
"Oh, the Siberian Sea Tiger Guild.”
It was Woo-hyun who recently went hunting with them under Jae-ho's direction, and two votes knew about the recent situation.
Also, I was worried when I said I would leave the starboard to them because I knew where the roots of the Siberian sea tiger were.
I didn't know I'd have a bad influence.….
But contrary to their worries, they had an unexpectedly positive(?) effect on Woo-hyun.
"I was able to learn how to stand up to bad comments.”
Those who have committed all kinds of misdeeds since the days of the brown bear guild, making their parents dead hundreds of times.
The walls of such a bigoted mind have become impenetrable fortresses of iron, unshakable by mere curses.
"Hey! What's with your face? What? Bad comments? Poo-ha-ha! Do you think the world is over with such a bad comment?”
"I've heard the story. There was a controversy when you joined Ilsung. Do you think you're such a dead man?"
"When we were in our prime, that was nothing!"
Their poor personality and impudence gave Woo-hyun a sense of confidence he had never thought of.
"I don't need to be daunted at all. 'Cause it's what they want me to fall apart.'
Especially, Buffalo helped Woo Hyun a lot.
"I understand. The frustration of being driven by one powerful man and a number of sycophants." But don't be daunted by it. We're not just fools or cowards, we're just waiting for the right time! I must always be prepared to be myself and be recognized.”
"Thank you, Mr. Buffalo! I'll cheer up, too, and I hope one day you achieve what you really want!"
They were two people who became close by sharing such similar circumstances.
"Uh, yeah, well... I'm glad you got some help.….”
Du Pyo said so, but why do I feel uneasy?
Is it simply because of preconceptions about the Siberian sea tiger's guild, or because I see it turning really strange?….
The head vote was difficult to judge.
* * *
Time has passed and finally it is the opening day of the league.
The New World Game Dome, which is prepared for the league, has a huge crowd, as it is the first official national league.
The stands were divided into 12 teams participating in the league, with virtually one-eighth of the number of Ilsung Flower fans.
When the Ilsung Flower Parcel was sold out early, it invaded the seats of other teams.
There was a heated debate about it, but it was not really a problem.
Even if they weren't fans of the team, there were a lot of general audiences who wanted to see the event on the spot.
The league was not just an event for professional team fans, so the organizers had no authority to block the crowd's choice.
The MK team, one of the strongest "second-in-command" players in the tournament, was particularly dissatisfied with that for extremely personal reasons.
MK and Jaeho's bad relationship, which everyone knows.
The uncomfortable relationship was still ongoing because the MK's director was Baek Jae-jin.
In the process, MK's fans were the only ones who were upset.
Without an incompetent manager, Jae-ho would still have been at MK, and Kim Jin-ah might not have been taken away.
Besides, even though he is not currently active, he lost Lee Soo-min, the ace of MK.….
All this happened while head coach Baek Jae-jin was leading the team.
For MK, the traditional powerhouse, it was upsetting.
"Oh, but honestly, isn't it not just MK but the other teams that have to reflect on themselves? Flower has the highest proportion of foreign players among Korean teams. Aren't you embarrassed to be robbed by foreign kids?"
Such absurd complaints were also heard from the stands.
However, it was not that I couldn't understand such complaints.
Since the past, Korean game teams have had a very small proportion of foreign mercenaries thanks to their abundant pool of players.
Anyone who thinks of Korea as a country that is good at games is the first thing that comes to mind, or the fact that there are one or two Korean mercenaries in the overseas squad was not a problem.
But... ...
"Hey, isn't it about 20 years ago that Korea is a game powerhouse?"
There were not a few such refutations.
Although Korea has maintained its reputation as a game powerhouse from the past, the gap has narrowed since virtual reality emerged.
It was because it became an era where he moved his whole body, not by using a keyboard and a mouse, like the gamers in the past.
"And in the first place, what does nationality matter in these times? Wouldn't it be nice to have other teams and players motivated by the Flower's formation of a multinational team? Honestly, Korean gamers have been doing a good job, right?”
Such sarcastic remarks come out hoping that we can feel the overwhelming power of Korea in the past.
That's why many gamers, old men and women who remember their youth are enthusiastic about Jae-ho.
But if you meet a wall that is too huge, it will be difficult to even try to overcome it.
Unfortunately, unlike fans' desire for the overall growth of Korean players and teams, the reality was thoroughly calculated.
Let's get second place instead of trying to win!
Then, they could qualify for the New World Cup, where the teams from each country's leagues and runner-up teams will gather.
It wasn't much different from MK either.
When it comes to Hwang Jae-ho, he is director Baek Jae-jin who suddenly wakes up from sleep, but now he has to hide his anger.
Although he is said to be sitting in Lee's position with a strong back, the atmosphere was very bad internally due to his poor performance in the two-time exhibition leagues.
Just as Worldwide conducted a number of experiments to overhaul the rules and systems, he was able to cover himself up thanks to the excuse that he had been tested for team management.….
Again, there was no answer if it was boiled down.
'No matter what, second place will be!’
He retorted, clenched his fist.
I was confident in my own way.
This time, it was a Korean league played only by domestic teams, and the way of the game was not all teams participating in a survival game, but a team-to-team match.
There was no need to have a war of wits and no need to worry about the bad luck of meeting Hwang first.
"To be honest, there have been so many unfair situations. But you don't have to worry about it anymore.’
He was confident that MK is the strong team that can produce enough results if done properly.
'And made special arrangements for the league.’
Although MK was relatively low in the spotlight, just before the final match, for the fifth time...….
'After today, people all over the world will remember our MK.’
Director Baek Jae-jin naturally smiled at the thought of a special and novel event prepared for today.
* * *
Finally! The much-awaited first official Korean league begins!!
The first game began with the caster's powerful cry.
The biggest difference from the last two exhibition leagues is that the way the game is played has changed, right?
The commentator nodded at the caster's question.
Yes, that’s right. Until last time, it was a mess. Every team had to survive in one battle.
The match consists of five-to-five battles between the two teams and will be a best-of-seven match.
Of the 10 pre-released battlefields, two battlefields chosen by each team and three random battlefields were used, each team being able to choose one banned battlefield.
Each team will either ban the opponent's winning battleground or, on the contrary, prevent the opponent from choosing where their winning rate is low. But now that the power analysis for the opponent has not been done precisely, it seems that the battlefield van will be based on the latter.
The commentator filled the beginning of the game, which might be boring, by explaining the new rules.
But that was for a moment, and soon the two teams began to face each other properly, and certainly there was a much more stable and thrilling game than in the exhibition league.
In the heat of the day, each team's match followed, and finally the fifth match, MK, began.
Huh? What's that?!
The castor, who saw MK on the battlefield, shouted in a startled voice.
The MK team looks like...…!!
With the yellow color, MK's signature color, he made a plausible cape, and all the players were wearing it.
Wow, that's great. There was no team that matched the team color in the exhibition league or in the previous game?
It's a prestigious MK. That's what the fundamentals are.
It was just a piece of cloth that was added on top of existing equipment without any effect.
However, the novelty of implementing his own in-game team uniform was highly commendable.
The symbolism of "We are a team!" has been clearly revealed.
Watching the scene, director Baek Jae-jin smiled satisfactorily.
'The reaction certainly worked!’
With extraordinary preparedness, the prestigious MK showed its presence.
Even if that's a piece of cloth with no options, it will be able to boost the team members' sense of belonging and encourage them.
Of course, MK was not sloppy enough to care only about such externalities.
The traditional MK wins, wins, wins, wins, wins, wins, wins, wins! Three wins and one loss. I have no intention of continuing the game.
The audience was enthusiastic about the MK, which ended the game early with a good performance.
People cheered enthusiastically for MK's group uniform.
"Wow! You sharpened the knife!”
"Are you the real MK?"
"Laughing! Are we MK finally doing it!! I've been believing you.”
I feel like he'll do a good job in the league.
Maybe you can do it against Ilsung Flower...….
Huh? Just a minute! Ilsung Flower...…!!
But the atmosphere turned around with the appearance of the final match team, Ilsung Flower.
It's a real uniform!
A real uniform that reinterprets real-life team uniforms into a fantasy style of New World.
It wasn't even roughly covered with cloth like MK.
Did they make an item for the competition?
Uh... well, I can only say that you've put in a lot of effort. But apparently they're all made of the same material. I'm looking forward to seeing whether it's arrogance or confidence that he brought something special, not his usual defense tool.
Then I guess I'll have to understand it as an event to open the league! Anyway, that's great! Besides, you chose a bright color just like your name!
Hahaha, it's Flower!
Since details of players' characters and items were not disclosed, the commentators only thought Ilsung Flower's uniform was a competition item.
I never thought it would be an avatar, but it was obvious.
Avatar technology has been forgotten in New World.
But there was another important fact that no one knew.
Thanks to Ilsung Flower, who was determined and prepared for the uniform, MK's clumsy uniform disappeared from people's memory...….
