Chapter 107 – 107. Transfer Offer (1)

The best game team in Korea in name and reality.

Mad Tiger Gaming (MTG)!

Park Seong-pil, the general manager of MTG, recently received a very embarrassing call.

“Both Ryu and Wisdom of Battle Angels turned down transfer offers.”

Where is Mad Tiger Gaming?

World Championship winning career in the previous season, and Arena Championship Korea (ACK) winning this season!

If you have eyes to see, there is no way that players who have just come up from the second division will not accept a transfer offer.

Director Park Seong-pil asked in a puzzled tone.

“You both turned down transfer offers?”
“Yes. They say they have no intention of leaving Battle Angels.”

‘Is it.’

As soon as I heard a little more detailed explanation, there was a thought that came to director Park Sung-pil’s head.

‘Looks like he’s attached to his colleagues.’

It was an occasional thing.
If you are the first team to debut as a pro gamer or if you are a team that has risen through the promotion rounds, you may not want to leave the team because the team members are so close.

Due to the spirit of a moment, you fall into the illusion that you can do anything with these team members.

‘Then, when all the other team members leave, he doesn’t know that he’s the only one at a loss.’

Of course, there is nothing to worry about if you go up to the 1st division by winning and winning.
However, since the Arena Championship Korea was held, not a single team has succeeded in being promoted to the first division.

Are you confidently aiming for promotion to the 1st division with a team you are passionate about?
In the eyes of director Park Seong-pil, it could only be regarded as an absurd story.

‘If I persuade him a little more, he’ll come over.’

At that point, coach Park Seong-pil decided to visit the Battle Angels players in person.
If you tell them the reality of the professional game industry and the difference in treatment between the 3rd division league team and the 1st division league team, you will be able to get approval without difficulty.

‘I don’t necessarily have to recruit them, but… ‘

Mad Tiger Gaming’s treasure and director Hwang Ji-yeon said something to him.

‘Even if you have it, it’s okay if you don’t have it.’

Nevertheless, there was only one reason why director Park Seong-pil showed interest in them.
Unlike in the past, pro gamers these days don’t look only at their skills.

Star Castle!

Perhaps it was a more important factor than skill in the professional game industry, which has a structure where profits cannot come out without fans.

‘I think it would be beneficial if I just recruited them and started broadcasting on the Internet?’

After making a rough estimate in his head, director Park Seong-pil picked up the phone.
And he calls Battle Angels coach Jung Pal-soo.

He said that he would like to visit and talk with the players in person sooner or later.
Since the players had already expressed their intention to reject it, there was no way the Battle Angels would feel good about continuing love calls.

However, Battle Angels coach Jung Pal-soo was more willing than expected to allow him to visit the building.

“Thank you! I’ll see you then.”

Director Park Seong-pil, who hung up the phone with coach Jeong Pal-soo, returned the phone to director Hwang Ji-yeon this time.

“I don’t think we need to recruit that much… “
“Nope! As you may know, it’s not common to see a female player who looks this good and is good at games. If you just recruit them, you will definitely benefit.”
“Ha… I know.”
“Director Hwangbo also follows me and helps me. It won’t be difficult. I don’t think we’ll turn down the transfer offer since we’re going there ourselves.”
“I do not know…”

However, Hwang Ji-yeon sounded a little skeptical.

“They probably won’t.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“No matter how good the conditions are, the dogs will not come to our team.”
“…Yes? No, why?”

Rejecting a transfer offer from Mad Tiger Gaming?

Director Park Seong-pil asks curiously.
Because Hwangbo was a director with excellent analytical skills, he could not pass over casual remarks.

However, what she said was the exact opposite of her usual sober attitude of hers.

“It’s just a woman’s intuition.”
“……Director Hwangbo.”
“I am not kidding.”

Hwangbo Jiyeon repeated in a small voice as if she had to.

“Battle Angels will not transfer any players.”

###

Advancement of the Battle Angels to the second division.
And it is so popular that even the first division teams feel a sense of crisis.

When she heard the news, Hwangbo Ji-yeon didn’t know whether she was in a good or bad mood.

Should she celebrate the success of her former partner her, coach Kim Jeong-soo, or should she hold back the emergence of a dark horse that will shake her gaming world her as the director of Mad Tiger Gaming.

‘I can’t believe it. How did you get to the second division with that team?’

Director Hwangbo looked at all the Battle Angels games that have been played so far.

The conclusion they came to was that the Battle Angels were a team made in heaven.

‘Otherwise, there’s no way the old team members would grow like this.’

The buds of a pro gamer are determined from a very young age.
Even if you can grow your brain, your physical will not rise even if it falls as you get older.

In other words, in theory, Battle Angels, where all players are over 20 years old, have no more potential.

Because of this, Hwang Ji-yeon was convinced.
Battle Angels, at best, can’t get out of the 3rd division.
Even if you raise your brain like crazy, you can never last long if you have this level of physical.

But now?

‘Except for the mid laner, I must say that his physicality is quite good.’

It was still unknown whether the Battle Angels would be able to play an active role in the second division, but this level of appearance alone compared to their early days could be said to be unbelievable growth.

Her notion that her physical ability her, which she had been determined since she was a child, could no longer rise, was completely shattered.

“Still, it’s not really to the point of suggesting a transfer.”

Hwang Bo Ji-yeon, who was riding in the car with director Park Seong-pil, shook his head as he spoke his mind.

“First of all, I am too old. At least Ryu and Wisdom are 20 years old, so they might be usable.”
“Okay. But wouldn’t it be okay to keep the Battle Angels in check and scrims?”
“That might be fine.”

‘I don’t think I’ll accept the transfer offer anyway.’

Then why is she heading to Battle Angels to make her own transfer offer, which obviously won’t be accepted?

Outwardly, it was to grasp the inner atmosphere of Battle Angels, but the true intention was different.

It was to see if coach Kim Jung-soo was doing well.

‘Still… Because I have an old friendship.’

If there is a chance, maybe we can share a story.

After a while, the two arrived at the building where the Battle Angels practice room was located.
As expected, thanks to the generous sponsor, there was a building on the land of gold dust of considerable scale for a team that had just risen to the second division.

The two men and women entered the building hiding their surprised expressions.
Soon after, they were able to meet a rice cake that looked like a gorilla.

‘Wow… I think he’s a thug…’

“Hello, I’m Jeong Pal-soo, the manager of Battle Angels.”
“Ah, yes. Director. Nice to meet you I am Park Seong-pil, general manager of Mad Tiger Gaming.”

Director Jung Pal-soo and director Park Seong-pil shaking hands.

Director Park Seong-pil felt a threat to his life as he held the thick hand of director Jeong Pal-soo.
The fear that if director Jeong Pal-soo set his mind to it, he could crush his hand his!

‘It looks like he’s grabbing some kind of brick.’

“I heard he came from a great gaming troupe. It is an honor.”
“No. The coach who raised the team to this level in half a season is even more amazing.”
“Haha, it was our coach who played a bigger role than me.”

After a mild conversation, director Jeong Pal-soo led them into a room.

“If you wait a moment, I will call the players.”
“Yes. You can come slowly.”
“Oh, and.”

Director Jeong Pal-soo paused and looked back at the two men and women.
Just when he felt some uneasiness in that short silence, director Jeong Pal-soo opened his mouth with a faint smile on his lips.

“Ryu says he won’t be able to make time for himself today.”
“Ah… Okay.”
“Sorry for not contacting you earlier. Player Wisdom said he would meet him once, so I will only bring Wisdom.”
“Yes. Good.”

After director Jeong Pal-soo disappeared, the tense tension finally eased.
Director Park Seong-pil sighed and looked at Hwang Ji-yeon.

“Is it really going to be as Director Hwangbo said? First of all, Ryu can’t be recruited, so what’s left is Wisdom’s player?”
“You don’t have to be so thirsty about recruiting. Again, for us, if we have it, we can do it without it.”
“Right.”

Even if the recruiting took place, there was no intention of changing the main player.
It was to find a player who would enter the position of a sub member.
There was no need for them to feel anxious.

And after a while

The door finally opened and a girl appeared.
Her looks her with her glasses on, with her long straight hair hanging down.

She had a cold and hard expression like Hwangbo Jiyeon, but she was a beauty that I wanted to keep looking at.
She reminds me of a pretty girl she glanced at in school.

“Hello. Mr. Wisdom.”

Director Park Seong-pil spoke first.
Then Ji-hye Lee smiled softly, putting her smile on her lips.

“Hello.”

A colorful flower that blooms in full bloom even in a snowstorm in winter.
Director Park Seong-pil had that idea for a moment.

‘To think he’s this good looking and has such good game skills.’

Clearly, until I met her, I thought that it would be okay to recruit her or not, but now she has changed 180 degrees.

You must bring this child.

Considering that the reason for the existence of the game team is not simply to win the league, but also to increase the number of fans, this child was an essential talent for the team.

“Hmmmm… Shall we sit down and talk?”
“Yes.”

When Lee Ji-hye sat down at the table, manager Park Seong-pil tried to bring up a full-fledged transfer story.
How good is the welfare of Mad Tiger Gaming, how high the contract salary is, how promising the team is, etc.

However, it was Lee Ji-hye who spoke first.

“Actually, I have no intention of transferring at all.”

‘Ah… ‘

At her words, director Park Seong-pil licked his lips.

And the words of Lee Ji-hye that followed.

“I just came to see what your ex-girlfriend looks like.”

Director Park made a puzzled face.
However, as soon as Wisdom turned his gaze to the direction where he was heading, he could see coach Hwangbo completely frozen.

‘No way… ?’

Manager Park Seong-pil forgot everything about the transfer proposal for a moment and became excited.
