Seoul, Korea, University Road, Culture and Arts Street, far away from the bustling city. Emoon Tea House, the training base of the world's "unknown" Korean professional esports team, Tatazu Freedom Wings.
The reason why it was "unknown" was not because the team's standard was not good enough, but because the level of professional esports in Korea was too high. Any professional player could be qualified to play as a main player in any country's main team without any results. Therefore, Korean esports was a golden signboard. There was no need to remember the names of teams that were as numerous as the hairs on a cow.
And this unknown tea house, Tatazu, had a very special position among the Korean professional teams. It was a school that "didn't specialize" in training professional players!
At this time, in the elegant and antique tea house, the three coaches, Cui Yonghao, Kim Xiyong, and Park Dongsun, were sipping tea while watching the live video of the European Union's top Internet celebrity battling a British professional player on the Strait of Valen.
Although these three were coaches, they were only 25 or 26 years old. They were the dazzling stars of the Korean esports scene in the past. They were once the absolute kings of the esports scene. Of course, their current level was still the same. It was just that they had faded out of the first-tier esports circle as coaches.
In Korea, esports was a national sport and also a project strongly supported by the country. The professional selection system for esports players was as complete as the professional football system. Those who played well would be high-income stars, idols for young girls and boys. It was completely different from China, where those who played well would need treatment.
It was precisely because the treatment of Korean professional players was extremely high that the competition was especially fierce. The requirements to be selected were also extremely high, almost as strict as the Qiyuan. As for the Qiyuan, in everyone's eyes, those who could be selected were all prodigies with amazing calculation skills, right?
That's right. Korean esports pretty much followed the Qiyuan's model of selection, so the Korean players' calculation skills were amazing. For example, in a strategy game, as long as the Korean player glanced at your base, he would be able to calculate the maximum number of soldiers you would have in a few minutes!
In short, Korean players entered the industry at the age of 1518, and reached their peak at 2022. After 22, they would be ready to retire due to various reasons. And those who could still maintain their form, and at the same time, had a wide social circle, were usually coaches after the age of 24.
Now, the three coaches were watching the video with great interest, cheering from time to time. In the Korean eSports world, the three of them could only be described as "beyond the boundaries". They were known as the "Three Masters". Looking at the current players in the eSports world, none of them could catch their eye. Only the verified account was highly regarded. It wasn't because of the verified account's skills, but because of the verified account's evergreen heart.
That's right, for a peerless expert, a hero past his prime was a very sad thing. They wanted to learn the secret of eternal vitality from the Big V. Of course, they also knew that there were some things that could never be learned. Rather than saying that they were learning, it was better to say that they were enjoying it with the mood of leisure and appreciation. The feeling of watching an Internet celebrity fight was completely different from watching kids play games.
Finally, in the video on the television wall, Big V cleverly and naturally used the NPCs to win the battle. The Dark Alliance players in the video cheered.
Cui Yonghao clapped his hands and chuckled, "What a natural and steady boulder. I really want to fight him again."
Cui Yonghao's game ID was Stone Buddha. This was his nickname when he was a first-tier professional player. It meant that his psychological quality and facial expression were as steady and unmoving as a stone buddha. Back then, he was a serious player. After becoming a coach, he often laughed and often called himself a Maitreya.
Kim Xiyong laughed and said, "He's not old, but we are indeed going to be."
Kim Xiyong's game ID was Curator Kim. This was the nickname he got when he was a coach. Curator Kim was also a famous comedian in Korea. Kim Xiyong's strength was that he used all kinds of unbelievable and funny methods to make the students not know whether to laugh or cry. His skills were superb, and his tactics were so strange that people couldn't look at him directly.
Pu Dongxun shook his head and said, "No, he's now a semi-amateur player. Just like us, we can meet him in the national war."
Pu Dongxun's game ID was Dragon's Courage. This was also his nickname, which meant that he was shockingly courageous. He dared to use many seemingly unbelievable and strange dangers. If one didn't know that he was competing, they would think that it was a layman who was messing around. In fact, the only difference between him and a rookie was that all his actions were carefully calculated by his calculator-like brain.
At the mention of the national war, Cui Yonghao frowned and said, "Although our country isn't afraid of any opponents in the competition, the national war is a test of the overall strength of the country, especially China and Japan. We definitely can't lose to them."
Kim Xiyong smiled faintly and said, "Although the standard of the China players is amateurish, in the previous national war, they displayed a shocking large-scale player organization ability. This is worth paying attention to."
Pu Dongxun laughed and said, "Since our national team has chosen the Elves as the main attack, we are already prepared to fight against many. Let them worry about it. I feel that the Japanese have been very active during this period. They are going to make a big move. "
Kim Xiyong laughed and said, "If the Japanese's goal is to eliminate the Light Faction's NPCs, then I really have to express my admiration for their long-term strategy."
Cui Yonghao shook his head and said, "The Japanese and the Americans have the closest cooperation. We can't rule out the possibility that the Japanese have obtained the strategy through internal channels."
At this moment, there was a hurried knocking on the door of the tea room. There were excited shouts of "Teacher, teacher" coming from outside.
Kim Xiyong sighed and said, "They really have no manners at all. Come in!"
Clang! The door opened immediately and three 14 and 15 year old boys and girls walked in. "Teacher, we are very polite! We knocked on the door. "
Hong Xiuying, Zhao Shizhe, Lee Yinzhu, the three coaches were proud of their disciples. They were prodigies with an IQ of more than 160 and were the future stars of Korea's e-sports. Especially the female disciple, Lee Yinzhu. She had a sweet appearance and was a popular candidate to be the next e-sports queen of Korea. However, it was precisely because the three of them were too dazzling when they debuted that it was not conducive to the growth of the young players. Therefore, the three coaches deliberately hid them and trained them strictly.
Cui Yonghao's face turned serious. "Xiuying, what's the matter?"
A young man said excitedly, "Teacher, the latest news from the headquarters of the American League of Legends is going to be held in a week's time. The competition will be held in the game and we can participate too!"
The three coaches could not help but be stunned.
Cui Yonghao said in surprise, "The competition will be held in a week's time? Without prior notice? Isn't this too hasty? "
Pu Dongxun sighed and said, "It must be for the opening of the Southeast Asia region and South America region in twenty days. It must be a last-minute decision to use the competition's prize money to attract more players to join."
Kim Xiyong sighed and said, "Yes, this game's commercial operation is too heavy." He then laughed and said, "But I like it!"
Pu Dongxun asked a young man, "Shizhe, what are the rules of the competition?"
The young man said excitedly, "Of course it's an open competition. There are no rules. If a level 20 meets a level 30, it's his bad luck!"
Another young man laughed and said, "It's more exciting for a level 20 to defeat a level 30!"
The three coaches nodded in acknowledgment.
Kim Xiyong waved his hand and said, "Got it. Go and train harder."
The young girl smiled and said, "Teacher, don't you have any expectations for us?"
Kim Xiyong coughed and said, "Expectations? I hope that when you are defeated by foreign players, you won't cry and dirty your helmet. "
The three young boys and girls laughed and said, "Even if you are not careful, you will lose to us. Don't even think about the foreign players. We will bring first place back for you to see! Wahahaha! "Amidst the proud laughter, the three of them jumped out of the door.
Kim Xiyong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He got up and closed the door that they had forgotten to close. "I really can't do anything to them!"
Cui Yonghao sighed and said, "I hope they lose a match! Sometimes, you can learn more from defeat than victory. "
Pu Dongxun sighed and said, "When we first debuted, we were suppressed by verified accounts. I have to say, the necessary suppression is beneficial for the growth of rookies. But for them, losing to their seniors is only a matter of course. It won't improve their state of mind. I desperately hope that they can lose to their peers."
Cui Yonghao sighed and said, "It's a pity that there are no peers who can beat them."
Kim Xiyong smiled bitterly and said, "Then they can lose to amateurs!"
The other two didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Amateurs? How is that possible — "
All of a sudden, the three of them were shocked!
Cui Yonghao's face twitched. "Maybe there really is a very strong amateur player?"
Jin Xiyong's eyelids twitched. "If it's an open competition with no rules, I might not be able to beat him, right?"
Pu Dongxun said in a deep voice, "We have too little information on him. Even the people in China don't know much about him."
Cui Yonghao laughed and said, "I want to participate too!"
