After the vacation, the players showed up at the clubhouse and started preparing for the next season.
"Hello, owner."
"Come on, come on."
Seo Mun-yeop exchanged greetings with the players. Then he suddenly found Choi Jung-min, who looked tired.
"How is it that the guy who came back from resting well has such a bad complexion? Did you do any special training somewhere?"
"I am not good at writing."
"huh?"
Seo Moon-yeop was about to ask what bullshit he was talking about, but remembered that Choi Jung-min was an aspiring writer.
"I've written the synopsis, but strangely, when I sit in front of the computer, I can't write."
"I don't know your field, but isn't that just a lack of talent?"
"It can't be!"
Choi Jung-min was furious. He seemed eager to deny it.
"I think I already acknowledged your expression."
"That, it is not. When he retires as a former player, he'll be a writer! At best, I even got the right to write the owner's brother's autobiography!"
The promise to entrust him with ghostwriting for his autobiography was a condition set forth to entice him into becoming a player.
But looking at it now, it seems like he did a good job tricking me into becoming a player. If he really wanted to be a writer, his life would be ruined because he couldn't write.
Seo Moon-yeop patted Choi Jeong-min on the back.
"Now that you realize where your talent lies, let's focus on your career."
"Keugh, someday..."
"Yes, yes, after I finish my career as a player, my older brother will also coach me."
Due to the warm consolation of Seo Moon-yeop, Choi Jung-min died mentally.
-Target: Jeongmin Choi (human)
-Muscle Strength: 71/71
- Agility: 81/81
-Speed: 68/68
-Endurance: 57/57
-Spirit: 80/90
-Tech: 83/87
-Aura: 63/63
-Leadership: 32/37
-Tactics: 89/95
-Superpower: Observation
'This guy's mental strength has dropped by 10. A guy who has to run physically and play with his brain.'
Choi Jung-min has low speed, endurance, and aura.
It is a style that requires smart play with only high skills and 'observation'. If such a guy loses his mental power, his performance will be adversely affected.
Fortunately, except Choi Jung-min, everyone was in good condition.
Finally, Jo Seung-ho and Lee Na-yeon entered side by side. The two best friends said they had traveled to Europe together during this vacation, and both had their faces written that they didn't want to work.
Jo Seung-ho, who became expensive while awakening to a new psychic power, 'invisibility', proudly said to Seo Moon-yeop.
"Sir, no matter how you think about it, the environment around the accommodation is very poor."
"What man? There is a convenience store, and there are managers who shop for everything you ask for."
Even this time, as the number of players increased, a few more villas were built.
Of course, the queen's aide, the 'observation', was called and copied and pasted, but anyway, it was expensive as a building material.
Where do you get the salary of the staff of the player management team who take care of the players' convenience?
Seo Moon-yeop, who has been steadily investing in player welfare, was moved.
"What is lacking?"
Then the players spoke one word at a time.
"traffic."
"bar."
"My wife said it would be nice if there was a gym where she could exercise regularly..."
"My father almost got lost in the mountains while taking a walk around the area."
"I am the pool!"
"Cinema!"
"female······."
Complaints pouring in from all over the place!
Seo Moon-yeop, who had become mute after eating honey, pondered and said.
"Okay, then I'll make you an offer."
All the players looked at Seo Moon-yeop with interest.
"Starting this season, I will also work hard to compete. They try to destroy the league by putting up 20 kills per game."
"omg······."
"10 kills per set? However, if it is the owner, I think it is possible..."
Seo Moon-yeop, who has not been able to compete for the opportunity and growth of other players, or because he is too lazy.
However, at Gary's request, he decided to work hard as a player this season. In any case, we needed to strengthen our teamwork in preparation for the World Champions.
"Every time I beat myself to win MVP this season, I will build the facilities that person asks me to build."
"Really?"
"Hey, but you're too hard."
"No, Pietro is here!"
Seo Moon-yeop pointed at Pietro and said firmly.
"Except Pietro."
Pietro didn't react much. As usual, he had an expression of no interest.
The players cheered again.
However, the wonseong soon turned into fighting spirit.
"Okay, can't we have one MVP all season?"
"I will put the selfishness of civilization into this mountain."
"Fix the roads! What to do with a sports car! I'm going to be a tire mop!"
This was not a problem of the place of origin, but it was because of the clubhouse located in the mountain area. Due to the acquisition and remodeling of an abandoned factory located in an obscure place, the influence of YSM was still intact.
Hearing the numerous complaints, Seo Mun-yeop gnashed his teeth.
'It's a long and difficult way to build a club that players want to come to.'
It was only then that it was still difficult to recruit world-class players.
"If you want to be the MVP, pay attention to my words."
Director Gabriel, who appeared late, said.
He put the PPT material on the screen and skillfully started his presentation.
"Battlefield matches are largely divided into three categories."
Three words appeared on the screen.
hunt.
battle.
check.
A double battle meant a large-scale one-stroke fight between two teams.
"In the past, battles were very important, but recently, hunting and containment have become more important. The recent trend is that even tankers need to be fast-moving."
The players nodded.
Paris Lumière BC and Berlin Blitz BC, which reached the finals in last year's World Champions, proved this.
The Berlin Blitz, which is not bound by trends, has also begun to focus on mobility.
"So far, our YSM has pursued the three elements in a balanced way, but this is possible because it was a low-level KB-1 league. You guys are judging that you have already surpassed the league level."
Soon, logos of world-famous big clubs appeared on the screen. All of them were prestigious players who regularly participated in the World Champions League.
"How will our team play at the world level? At least you won't be able to do it the way you did in the pro league."
"..."
The video of the match soon appeared.
This was a video of Seo Moon-yeop playing an active role in the match against China.
"As an example, I will show you a match between the Korean national team and the Chinese national team. Here, Korea, along with our owner and a few players, were actively in check. Among the 3 elements, it was biased toward containment. Why?"
"I hit you first so you wouldn't get hurt."
Jungmin Choi said.
"It's because there weren't many competitive players besides the owner's brother."
Cho Seung-ho also added.
Both of them were talented with 89 and 88 tactics.
Director Gabriel nodded.
"you're right. If so, would it be advantageous to try to check the basics?"
"It is not."
Gary replied.
If checks fail, they suffer losses.
It is because it is to endure the waste of time and movement to go to check.
In the big leagues, the defensive ability to block checks was basically strong. As mobility was emphasized, checks became more active, so of course the defense against checks was thorough.
As Gary explained this, young players unfamiliar with the big leagues showed curiosity.
"That's right. At the world level, containment is going with certainty of success, or going with no choice. The enemy is getting stronger fast, so I have no choice but to contain it!"
Emphasizing the last words, director Gabriel continued his explanation.
"We have to force the opposing team to come in check. And you have to defend it well. It is the bare minimum required to be competitive in the World Champions."
At that, Gary clenched his fists.
'That's why you recruited me!'
He is also a gifted tactic 83.
I have a sense of what role I have to play.
As Seo Moon-yeop promised, the role he played was very big.
The PPT on the screen switched to the next screen.
The names of four YSM players were written on it.
Lee Na-yeon.
Gary Williams.
Seungho Cho.
Shim Young-soo.
and Seo Moon-yeop.
"From time to time the number of players fluctuates, but these five players play a key role."
"Quick hunting and control of sight!"
Gary said confidently.
Director Gabriel responded with a smile.
"you're right. There are many rangers, so you can hunt quickly. Our hunting speed is fast, so the enemy should come to check."
Lee Na-yeon and Gary use bows, so they are more specialized in hunting than in person-to-person combat.
Shim Young-soo can also catch monsters by driving them with 'Explosive Spheres'.
Seo Moon-yeop is a hunting specialist who needs no words.
When they unite, they will surely show tremendous hunting speed.
"If you keep a large area in sight, you can notice the enemy coming in check. It is not difficult to defend if you have noticed it in advance."
Gary, who has 5x better eyesight in dungeons, and Lee Na-yeon, who has a vast reconnaissance range with her tremendous mobility.
And even Cho Seung-ho, who can hide in key areas and observe enemies with transparency.
These three were a combination that specialized in capturing sight.
If their teamwork reaches its peak, it can build a world-class level in both respects.
'The director did a really good job.'
Gary and Cho Seung-ho, who need to control their sight, have very high tactics. It means that you are good at predicting where your enemies will come from.
Lee Na-yeon also had a talent for tactics with 65/83. They are smart enough to figure out where to scout.
Seo Moon-yeop and Shim Young-soo increase their hunting speed and increase their competitiveness in interpersonal battles by collecting hunting points.
In addition to 'Explosive Sphere', Shim Young-soo had a competitive edge in interpersonal warfare such as 'Bind', so it was worth raising in the long term.
'Pietro's psychic power consumes too much aura, so it's not suitable for hunting.'
There was also the advantage that there was no need to worry about growth because the psychic powers were so powerful even without hunting points.
In this way, the strategy and tactics that will make YSM a world-class club are in place.
The efforts of the past are starting to bear fruit.
"We hone this tactic during pre-season. And finally, we will test it against the Berlin Blitz."
All the players were stunned by coach Gabriel's bomb declaration.
It was.
I received a call from coach Emre Casa to play an exhibition game in the preseason.
It was an opportunity to experience a game against such a strong team, so of course I accepted it.
"It will be a good indicator of how much we can do against a prestigious club."
The players felt nervous at those words.
There was no player who did not know that the team's goal was the World Champions.
Poor play against a hugely prestigious team like Berlin Blitz BC could put them off the team's agenda.
"Then shall we start training soon?"
At Coach Gabriel's words, the players jumped to their feet.
Everyone wants to train, so they look like they are going to die.
The owner of the club looked at the scene full of passion with delight. Then he found Pietro with no motivation and regarded him as a thorn in his eye.
'That bastard, I can't even say anything!'
Since he was working at a low price of 100 million won per year, he could not be forced to show more enthusiasm.
