Chapter 24 (2/2)

He had the name s.h.i.+n and used humans like Lee s.h.i.+n so he was called that unfortunate nickname.

He was one of the dark priests of MBS with no recognition.

“Practice.”

“Ah, yes.”

Lee s.h.i.+n had studied the new human vs human build from s.h.i.+n Ji-ho.

The players were excited and stopped their practice game to watch. They wondered what Lee s.h.i.+n’s current skills were.

-Kaiser-nim has connected.

“Ohh!”

“Kaiser!”

The ID of the legend of e-sports appeared.

-Good_jjab: GG.

-Kaiser: Yes.

They started the game by greeting lightly.

But Lee s.h.i.+n didn’t demonstrate his skills. He played lightly and only checked the build. Nothing special came from Lee s.h.i.+n so the players lost interest.

“This brat, are you deliberately losing?”

Direction Bang Jin-ho who was watching asked.

Lee s.h.i.+n shrugged.

“What?”

“Why are your controls like that? Usually you can control your builds better.”

“My wrist hurts so I can’t do as well.”

“This brat is really questionable. Are you really not player Sin?”

“Why did you keep saying that? Has he still not replied to your messages?”

“Yes, yesterday I sent an authentication photo and he told me I looked different from my photo 10 years ago……ah, if only I can catch that guy!”

Director Bang Jin-ho formed a trembling fist.

Lee s.h.i.+n shamelessly stayed expressionless.

“It really isn’t you?”

“It isn’t. Why would I become a coach if I had my skills as a player back?”

“……Yes.”

“I am just going to raise the players.”

“Tsk, it is questionable. It is that brat no matter how I look at it……”

Director Bang Jin-ho’s face was filled with doubt as he walked away. It was a really sharp tip.

‘I will recover and return to the top again.’

Lee s.h.i.+n confirmed his determination again.

It was the year 2020 and there were no powerhouses in Korea’s e-sports arena that had Lee s.h.i.+n’s status.

First of all, Lee s.h.i.+n’s only rival was Hw.a.n.g Byeong-cheol’s.

Hw.a.n.g Byeong-cheol was the only person who won a trophy from Lee s.h.i.+n before always getting 2nd place in the pro league.

But Hw.a.n.g Byeong-cheol wouldn’t last long.

There was also the ‘Madness G.o.d Clan’ Choi Young-joon.

A rookie who received attention in 2020’s pro league who made it through the preliminaries undefeated before losing 3-0 to Hw.a.n.g Byeong-cheol in the quarter-finals.

Lee s.h.i.+n had high expectations for the rookie. Choi Young-joon’s force was terrifying.

But…..

Third, there was the ‘Iron Wall Monster’ Park Young-ho.

The unbeaten Choi Young-joon and Park Young-ho had come head to head.

A tenacious defense. Any monster that were killed were just revived again and again.

Choi Young-joon poured out an intense offensive and Park Young-ho persisted.

5 rounds, 3 wins and 2 losses.

Win, lose, win, lose, win.

It was a tense match but eventually Park Young-ho won.

A rivalry between Park Young-ho and Choi Young-joon was formed on that day.

So in the Korean e-sports world, Hw.a.n.g Byeong-cheol, Choi Young-joon and Park Young-ho were all competing for the top 3 spots.

Apart from those 3, some fans also considered s.h.i.+n Ji-ho as the 4 place.

Either way, he needed to recapture his power to defeat them.

‘Not yet.’

A sufficient warm up period was required. A job as a head coach was good preparation.
