Chapter 326 – 326. Project to Achieve First Place in the Korean League! (One)

Genghis, a user on the US East server, was the most famous amateur player in the world.

He is from the US 1st Division, and although he is now retired and is a streamer, his skills are still the same, and he was a person who took the first place in Challenger on various servers.

There have been countless servers where he has been ranked number one.
Not only the US servers that were mainly active, but also Europe, West Asia, South America, etc.

And after the occupation of the Chinese server, only one server remained.
It was Korea.

[No matter how Chinggis is, Korea would not be easy?]
[Ah, China was also filmed during the season of the players, so what hahathey told me to conquer China properly before coming haha]
[No matter how great a backdoor is, it’s great. Do you guys think you can take first place on all servers?]
[It would be a great embarrassment if the Chinese server was filmed with a backdoor and Korea was filmed during the off-season. You’re not really losing first place, are you?]

Chinggis has not yet declared a conquest of the Korean server, but it is almost certain from the flow.

Users in the Korean community looked forward to his challenge, but could not hide their anxiety.
All other servers other than the Korean server were conquered anyway, so even if you were in the same situation, there was nothing to say that it would be humiliating.

[What will the Battle Angels do? ^^]
[Everyone except Ryu crawls on the floor, what the heck]
[It’s off-season, so the number of games is small. It will come up slowly now.]
[In the first place, the Korean server that lost 1st place to Battle Angels couldn’t keep 1st place. It’s only natural to lose first place.]

And when you are waiting for Chinggis’ next move with a mixed heart of worry and anticipation.
A picture is uploaded on his social media.

It was a proof shot taken at Incheon Airport.

[Kya… Chinggis came to Korea. They declared the conquest of Korea in earnest haha]
[I’ll admit it if Battle Angels keep 1st place haha]
[How to stop Chinggis Jwa, who achieved first place in the previous server… Let’s just play GG.]
[Mad Tiger Gaming’s form is also dead.
[No, when I was in China, I queued up in the US, but why are you only coming to Korea, you fucking bastard.]

Despite countless complaints from Koreans, Chinggis’ ambitious move was not yet over.

Perhaps thanks to the splendid aggro of the former American pro gamer, even sponsors were already attached.
And the photos of the 5-star hotel that followed!

In addition to that, there was even a comment that they hired a professional massage therapist to relieve fatigue along with a lot of game equipment.

[I lost Joe]
[Visaaaaa]
[Chinggis in full condition who even received a massage? I can’t stop this.]
[What festival is being held? No, it’s a funeral.]
[Why in the world are you so anxious about not being able to catch and eat ACKs that are gradually dropping in the power rankings… ]
[Come on, national disgrace, Kazuah~]
[ACK being NTRed by a blonde bystander… ㅗㅜㅑ]

Thanks to that, the community was already holding a funeral for the Korean server.

###

About a month and a half left until the next season.

I looked at the players’ tiers.

Kang Yul-eun is 95th in Challenger.
Heo Sook-hee is 84th in Challenger.
Lee Ji-hye is the 91st in Challenger.
Yuna Han is 75th in Challenger.
Jiah Lee is Master 256.
Ryu Seo-yoon placed 8th in Challenger.
Baek Ha-yan was 88th in Challenger.

A tier of players who are mostly playing in the double digits.
It could feel a little lacking to say that it was a solo rank tier of the top team in the Korean league.

‘It’s because it’s still before the ranked game starts in earnest.’

During the season, all schedules were focused on scrim matches and actual matches rather than solo ranks.
Even outside shooting or personal circumstances, it was a solo rank game that I skipped.

In the case of Lee Ji-hye, only the contractually agreed numbers are filled.
More than that, she felt that she didn’t mean much, so she put her energy elsewhere.
That’s why tier is an indicator that has less importance.

‘But since Ryu Seo-yoon and Baek Ha-yan’s Awakening Quest is at stake, I’ll have to take first place at least once.’

In addition to the awakening quests of the two players, there was another reason to take first place.
It was thanks to the scolding from vice-captain Yoo Min-ah that happened yesterday.

In the past, when she was under the phone company’s command, she performed front desk work like a dispatcher, but after her main sponsor changed to White Bio, she came along and rose to the position of her sub-captain.

“Did you call the vice-captain?”

When I entered her vice-captain’s office with her flirtatious posture, the woman who was sitting in her seat gave her an absurd look.

“Hey, what kind of thug are you? Even if it’s not, my head hurts because of what you’ve done.”
“Eh? What have I done?”
“…You plastered pictures of you on a date with your kids on social media!”

Come to think of it, something like that happened.

I operated the capsule coffee machine on one side and brewed a cup of coffee.

“Yeah, as expected, the vice-captain’s office has things like this. It’s good.”
“I really want to break the earthen pot, so keep your mouth shut.”

I see her venom-filled eyes.
I must have been very angry.

“Do you know how much sales fell because of that?! Are you really doing things without thinking?”
“It could be something you’ll find out someday anyway, so it’s not bad to be beaten in advance, right?”
“Say just one more word. The ashtray might fly away.”

Then she takes out her cigarette and puts it in her mouth.

Since when have you been smoking?

She answers as if my eyes were full of questions.

“It started blooming when I left the company I was working for and headed to the ground,” She said. Why?!”
“…”

Again there is nothing to say
Come to think of it, I wonder if she was too insensitive to her.

When we were under the phone company, it was our own club that had grown quite large and became independent.
No matter how many people they support, they must be inexperienced people who have never run a game club.
In the end, everything had to go through her hands.

“You must have suffered a lot.”
“If you know, will you cooperate?”

She puffed out the smoke from her cigarette as she lit her twin wick.

I nodded.

“That’s why you called me. Even if you don’t, I have a plan.”
“…What?”

She had a very questionable face, but we leaned over her body as if we were listening.
At that time, the card I took out was the players’ project to achieve first place in the Korean league.

“How about lining up our players from 1st to 7th?”

Then she extinguished her cigarette in the ashtray with her confused face.

“Is that possible? Looking at the kids’ rankings, even the challengers seem to be in the middle.”
“That’s because we haven’t played ranked games in earnest. If I set one condition, it will be over in at least a month.”
“Under… !”

Vice-captain Yoo Min-ah smiled and asked while brushing his hair.

“Under what conditions are you so confident?”

I also smiled at him and said.

“You want to know? Can I show you here?”
“…No, that’s all right. Come to think of it, it seems obvious. Do as you please.”
“Don’t forget what I said to you. And I did my part with this, so don’t rake me in the future.”
“I had a plan of my own, though. If you don’t restore it as much as before the accident, I’ll call you again, so try your best.”

Afterwards, leaving her with a strange expression on her face and leaving her vice-captain’s office was exactly what happened yesterday for her.

“Director! I got all the kids!”

And as soon as I returned to the practice room, I ordered all the players to gather.

Let’s explain the whole story, they also show a positive reaction.

“Oh… Are you betting on who will get first place? Do you think it will be a lot of fun?”
“What do you get for first place?! Right?!”
“Even if it wasn’t so, the community went crazy. Genghis or something… Thanks to you, I think the publicity will work properly, right?”

The girls look at me with a slightly leaning look.
You must be expecting an appropriate reward that will motivate you.

There was only one thing I could give you.

“If you win first place, I’ll give you a kiss.”
Hehe… “

They look at each other and smile at the reward I offer.
You can’t give up just because of one kiss, and love at the same time.

“Let’s start tomorrow when we enter the new office building. Prepare hard before that.”
“Yes!”

The girls answered brightly.

###

And when tomorrow came, we left to see the new building as planned.

As the size of the investment in the arena professional league grows, the parent company’s spending also increased.

Every day, the largest number of viewers in esports history was renewed, broadcasting rights were sold everywhere, and various derivative leagues around the world got sponsors who could be known by name.

It was in full swing that it was worried that it was a bubble.
Thanks to that, the revenue falling to our club was also renewed every month.

In the summer season, when the world championship is at stake, it is expected that there will be unimaginable profits.
As a result, the parent company was able to provide budget without sparing, and the excellent office building was a part of that support.

The players and I rode a van together and headed to the outskirts of Seoul.

If the previous office building rented an entire building that looked like a mansion, this new office building was a method of purchasing a small officetel building and using the lower part as an office and the upper part as a practice room and accommodation.

I liked the past better in terms of building my own paradise, but I liked this one better in terms of the office building of an ordinary gaming team.

“Wow~”
“I’ve seen it before, but it sure is big and nice!”

The girls spit out exclamations and looked around.

I nodded as I looked around the dorm.
It was built by renovating a new officetel, so it was definitely clean and sophisticated.

My room was separate from the players, so I walked away from the players and entered the room.
And, as expected, the inside was neatly organized.

“Huh?”

However, if there was a problem, it was that, very suspiciously, there was a very large courier box in the center.

When I approached the box, I saw that there was a letter written on the top.

[It’s a 1st prize gift]

Out of curiosity, I slowly opened the package.
