YSM finished the first half of the season by winning the Asian Champions League and taking first place in the Pro League.
However, for Battlefield fans, the festival started now.
Because it was the World Cup season.
Each country had an A-match schedule to check their national teams ahead of the World Cup, and the same was true for the Korean national team.
As a result, many of YSM's players were selected to represent the country.
There were also many foreign national team players.
Gary Williams has been called up again for the United Kingdom team. He was able to remain on the national team because he showed great performance as Gary's AD dealer recently.
Saniya Akhmetova was, of course, called the undisputed ace of the Kazakhstan national team.
What is surprising is Khan Aryan.
Khan Aryan, who was called the ruined 7 hero and the shame of India, was criticized a lot, but when he showed good skills while making a fresh start as a player at YSM, he once again raised the expectations of the Indian people. As a result, he achieved the splendid feat of being selected for the Indian national team.
During the half-season at YSM, Khan Aryan really gave up gambling and played seriously.
He was beaten by Seo Moon-yeop while shouting at speculative cash items in a mobile game.
Khan Aryan, who worked hard to get back into the arms of his family, was thrilled when he was given the honor of representing his country.
In the wind, he was excited and boasted that he would lead India to the championship, but the Indians did not take it seriously and refused to do so.
Of the four foreign players, as many as three were national representatives, so this was also a strong team.
Naturally, there were more Korean national team players belonging to YSM.
Seo Moon-yeop and Pietro Anella are by far the aces of the Korean national team. In addition, Choi Hyuk was also the main team's main tank.
Lee Na-yeon, who had a reputation as the world's fastest runner, was also called up, and Shim Young-soo and Cho Seung-ho were also included in the national team roster.
Six people so far.
Other than Cho Seung-ho, everyone was a starter, so some said it was too much to select too many players from one team. However, since YSM is the strongest team in Korea, it was inevitable.
One more was added here.
This is Park Young-min.
Now, instead of being nicknamed PC room bully, he was a rookie who became more famous for his psychic power, the flame sword.
-Target: Park Young-min (human)
-muscle strength 83/84
- Agility 83/85
- speed 80/81
- Endurance 70/70
-Spirit 62/62
-Tech 78/81
-Aura 76/76
-Leadership 17/32
- Tactical 54/54
-Super Power: Flame Sword
Park Young-min grew explosively thanks to Seo Moon-yeop's special training throughout the season.
Strength increased by only 1, but agility by 3 and speed by 4.
I was stimulated by Seo Moon-yeop's extreme training beyond imagination to increase his speed, so I followed him and his speed increased.
And that wasn't all.
Skill 4, Tactic 4 rise.
As the game experience has been added, now I have completely recovered what I spent wasted time in my wandering days.
This level of ability is rare in Korea, so of course there was no choice but to be selected for the national team.
Meanwhile, in addition to Park Young-min, another new name was seen on the Korean national team convocation list.
Shin Tae-kyung.
He is the twin sister of Shin Soo-kyung, and a tanker who heated up the transfer market with the appearance of a genius last time.
There was no possibility of further growth, but the ransom was so high that Seo Moon-yeop was a rookie player who did not even pay attention.
It was only used as a reference to stimulate Shin Soo-kyung's fighting spirit.
***
"hello!"
Seo Mun-yeop, who arrived at the parking lot of the national team's training ground by bike, received a warm greeting from someone.
The young man who got off the red Ferrari was Shin Tae-kyung.
"Oh, is Soo-kyung's sister here?"
"yes!"
Shin Tae-kyung's eyebrows twitched as if he had never been called Shin Soo-kyung's younger brother, but he answered well anyway.
-Target: Shin Tae-kyung (human)
-muscle strength 85/85
- Agility 75/75
- speed 82/82
- Endurance 100/100
-Spirit 58/70
- Skills 73/76

- Tactics 28/28
-Super Power: Infinite Stamina
'Well, there is no big change.'
It was Shin Tae-kyung, who had already grown up and had little room for further development.
How much did it increase strength by 1 and skill by 1?
His endurance jumped from 92 to 100 by 8, but that was meaningless because his stamina was infinite because of his 'infinite stamina' anyway.
However, there was an unexpected part.
'what? It seems that your mental strength has been cut off a bit?'
I definitely remembered that my mental strength was 60 before.
But now it's 58.
If 2 was cut for half a season, that obviously meant something had happened.
"What are you worried about?"
Seo Moon-yeop asked openly.
Shin Tae-kyung was taken aback.
"Ugh, oh no! What am I worried about?"
"You look troubled?"
"Ah, no. The team is good, and they are called up to the national team and are doing well."
"okay? Then it's done."
Seo Mun-yeop moved into the training ground with strides.
Shin Tae-gyeong, who quickly followed, did not look very good.
Seo Moon-yeop could also feel his dark appearance as he walked ahead.
'It's something to worry about, obviously.'
Seo Moon-yeop roughly guessed Shin Tae-kyung's psychology.
Shin Tae-gyeong, who received love calls from overseas clubs, chose to safely join a domestic team in the KB-1 league.
However, Shin Tae-kyung will not be satisfied with Korea at all.
Once he got used to the professional life in the KB-1 League and developed his skills, he would have a scenario in his head to seek overseas advancement. As much as he received a lot of attention from his youth, his ambition must have increased.
'But isn't my skill improving?'
The problem is that.
The youth league was at a chewable level, and he had enough skills to do his part in the KB-1 league, but there was no room for further growth.
Since he had already used up most of his potential when he was young, everyone thought he was a genius and paid a high ransom, but if he didn't grow further, going abroad would be impossible.
'Still, if the stamina is infinite with that level of ability, it's useful as an auxiliary tank.'
Due to the nature of the role of an auxiliary tanker who has to go around and patch up defense lines here and there, Shin Tae-kyung, who has infinite stamina, was a very coveted talent.
In particular, YSM coveted Shin Tae-kyung because the weakness of Kim Jin-soo, an auxiliary tank, was revealed in the 3-tank system.
The tactical understanding is 28/28, so it's a flaw that it's stupid, but it's a weakness that can be overcome if the smart main order gives instructions and controls it.
However, Seo Moon-yeop shook his head.
'That's not bad, but recruiting better tanks from abroad is the best.'
Currently, manager Gabriel and scouts are looking for tankers to recruit from the American major leagues and European big leagues.
It wasn't easy to find a tank that YSM could recruit, even though he wasn't part of a World Champions team. Classic tanks also had to be excluded.
I couldn't add more slow-footed tanks here because I already have Paul Collins and Choi Hyuk.
It was when I was thinking about the list of players I had been keeping an eye on during the season to figure out who to recruit.
"Hey, senior Seo Moon-yeop."
"Uh, why?"
Seo Mun-yeop woke up from his thoughts and looked back.
Shin Tae-gyeong had a conflicted face. It was a conflicted expression on whether or not to talk about his worries.
"What is it, man? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to talk. I don't care what you're worried about."
Seo Moon-yeop tried to turn off his nerves because he wasn't the one to recruit anyway.
"Why didn't you try to recruit me?"
"huh? Did you hear from Sukyung?"
"I'm sorry to say this, but... I heard that you really hated me to the point of disgust."
"No, it's extreme. That's because your sister was so suspicious that she approached you because of you, so she nailed it as not being recruited."
"Anyway, I want to hear from you."
"The ransom was too high."
"You brought in Gary Williams and you also brought in Paul Collins, a promising Berlin Blitz. I gave up my plan to move to the clubhouse in Seoul, so I had plenty of financial space. It wasn't like you couldn't recruit me."
Seo Moon-yeop stuck out his tongue.
Shin Tae-kyung is really smart when it comes to ransom and negotiations, so he knew the internal affairs of YSM's team well.
"Yes, you."
"yes."
"I didn't see any potential for growth."
stone fastball.
Shin Tae-kyung's eyes shook.
"And there is another problem. you're so smart He knew how to raise his ransom, and he was wise to choose the KB-1 League. But in dungeons, on the contrary, my brain gets a little stupid."
"yes?"
"I couldn't see him playing the team tactics well at all. He sticks out and plays alone, and he would have been chewed up in the youth league, but in the pros, he doesn't even begin. When I have full stamina, I go around all over the place without resting, but that doesn't harmonize with the movement of the whole team."
Shin Tae-gyeong gritted it. It's an opinion I've been hearing a lot lately.
Since he played a lot by himself, the team pointed out that he should throw away his star disease and devote himself to the team.
However, Shin Tae-kyung was running hard to devote himself to his colleagues. It just didn't match the formation of the entire team at all.
It was the sadness of tactic 28/28.
It has already been half a season since he debuted on the professional stage, but he did not show much growth physically, and he could not adapt in terms of tactics, so the evaluation was inevitable.
"Your words are correct. I also ran because I worked hard for the team in my own way, but I kept getting pointed out for thinking I was the center of the team..."
From then on, Shin Tae-kyung started talking about his career as a player, which was not going well.
Seo Moon-yeop said.
"Hey, can I teach you how to do well in your career as an athlete?"
"yes."
"You mean You need to join a team with a smart main order. You can reduce unnecessary movement if you do what you are told to do, not your own judgment."
"..."
"You are a natural support tank. But anyway, there is only one main tank on the team. Support tanks need a lot of activity, and that's your specialty. If you make use of that part and go all the way as a support tank, it will be fine. Aren't you still greedy to become the main tank now?"
"yes."
Shin Tae-gyeong readily accepted the advice. It was because he was a person who was good at grasping reality.
however······.
"Then, do you have any plans to recruit me from YSM during the transfer window this summer?"
"huh?"
"Do you have plans to recruit a new auxiliary tank?"
"..."
"Your Kim Jin-soo is fine as a 4-tank player, but he showed flaws as a 3-tank player. Even if we continue to use Kim Jin-soo in the 4-tank system, when going to the 3-tank system, we need a separate tanker."
Seo Moon-yeop was stunned.
Shin Tae-kyung is well aware of YSM's team's internal circumstances. He was a fairly smart guy outside of the dungeon.
"Why does someone you know so well become that way in a dungeon?"
"I don't know. It's frustrating to see my play video again!"
It's a while to complain like that.
"Anyway, you're going to find a quick-witted tank for World Champions, but I'm pretty disappointed in the team right now, so if you hint at signing me, I'll try to negotiate. If you have an idea, I will respond within the team."
"Okay."
"Of course, in the US or Europe, they would rather have a more proven player than me. But I also have my advantages. There are a lot of YSM players, including seniors, on the national team. You can breathe together throughout the World Cup period. Try recruiting other players from abroad. Without a chance to breathe
It's the beginning of the World Champions, but there could be a worse situation than not signing, right?"
Seo Moon-yeop's heart was shaken because those words were true.
Shin Tae-kyung appealed even more strongly.
"As you said, I need a smart order colleague. There are many such people at YSM! Gary Williams, Cho Seung-ho, Seo Mun-yeop, etc. I will run like a key without a break. You know my superpower, right? Infinite stamina!"
Outside of the dungeon, Shin Tae-gyeong was a very good player. This was also compared to his twin sister, Shin Soo-kyung.
