Chapter 14 (1/2)

14) G.o.d of the Stadium (1)

South Korea’s SC pro league proceeded from January to November and a total of 8 teams would partic.i.p.ate.

The compet.i.tion was divided into the regular season and post reason as followed.

Regular season: Consists of 4 rounds. Each round was divided into Pool League and Round Playoffs.

-Pool League: The 8 teams were ranked according to their points.

-Round Playoffs: The top 4 teams would compete in a tournament, with the winner receiving 40 points and the runner up 10 points.

Post season: The 4 teams with the highest points would compete in 4 rounds to decide the final victor.

And the 3R playoffs finals took place today, May 20th 2020.

It was a match between MBS and CT.

This would be the last game while the pro league rested for a while. It was because it was the season for the SC World Grand Prix and transfers.

MBS had to win this game. The total amount of points up to the 3R meant that MBS was ranked 7th out of the 8 teams. In order to escape from that, they needed to secure the 40 points from winning the 3R.

‘MBS has been in a slump the entire year. It is due to the bad atmosphere in the team.’

There were 2,000 seats for fans. Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations

Lee s.h.i.+n was seated in one of the seats in the stadium and closely watched the big screen. Lee s.h.i.+n had come to spectate while hiding his face with a face mask and hat.

He wanted to check out the statue of MBS for himself. He could watch it online on the internet but Lee s.h.i.+n wanted to enjoy the heat of the stadium.

‘They are in a slump due to s.h.i.+n Ji-ho but things have improved in the 3rd round due to s.h.i.+n Ji-ho’s aggressive playing. I can see why Director Bang Jin-ho has a headache.’

At that time, players could be seen on the big screen.

“Wahhhhh!”

“Waahhh!”

“MBS fighting!”

“CT fighting!”

The fans shouted and cheered. It was a lovely sight to see fans cheering while wearing the uniform of their teams and waving signs.

Lee s.h.i.+n smiled.

‘The stadium really is good.’

He was envious of the players on the big screen.

He was a greedy person. He wanted all the cheers and enthusiasm to be for him. Lee s.h.i.+n had shone for 4 years but he was still thirsty.

‘Someday I will be in that place again……’

Lee s.h.i.+n made the decision yet again.

-h.e.l.lo everyone! Welcome to the 3R playoff finals of the 2020 SC Korea League! I am the newscaster Lee Byung-cheol!

-I am commentator Jeong Sung-tae.

-The one who needs the points from this match the most is MBS?

-That’s right. The MBS Team were sluggish during the 1st and 2nd rounds. They barely survived and their resurrection was due to the ace s.h.i.+n Ji-ho.

-Player s.h.i.+n Ji-ho acted as the team’s ace!
