107. Post-match story and reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, Kim Do-jun was chosen as the interviewer for the winning team PER.
As if he hadn’t expected it himself, he seemed half-believing and half-doubting while teasing other team members.
[Caster]: Let’s interview PER’s Kim Do-jun, who won this match!
As Kim Do-jun walked towards the caster, cheers erupted.
‘But why does that cheering feel ominous… … ‘
No matter how much I think about it, there is absolutely no reason for Kim Do-jun to do this interview. That is, unless the scene where Kim Do-jun plays Omok while lying down became a hot topic.
‘Surely not… … No, of course not.’
But even so, I thought that even if it was a topic of conversation about lying down and being hunched over, it was unlikely that they would use that as an excuse to do an interview…
And the actual questions and answers that came up were also decent.
[Caster]: Player Kim Do-jun! Nice to meet you. This PER match was really impactful. The combination of Lee Chang-hyun and Ryu Jae-jun. And the rest of the players used defensive strategies. Can you explain what you prepared?
‘Why do I have to ask this question to Kim Do-jun… … .’
[Kim Do-jun]: Yes. This strategy was actually prepared long before the game even started. We practiced as a team…
As the interview was progressing smoothly, something I was worried about happened.
[Caster]: Actually, the reason Kim Do-jun was chosen for this match interview is… … this scene. That’s right. This scene is really becoming a hot topic on the internet community. Do you know Kim Do-jun?
The video highlighted the scene in question. Yes, it was the scene where Kim Do-jun was lying on the ground playing Omok.
‘Haa… … You’re making the team look bad.’
“That’s how it was taken. Hehehe.’
“Are you saying my play was just inferior to that?”
Han Ji-soo laughing at that, or Ryu Jae-jun getting angry that the interview was delayed…
Anyway, I wondered if it was okay if people who saw our team for the first time had that kind of first impression.
It wasn’t even just a direct copy of the video, but the long time Lee Chang-hyun played Omok was edited very quickly, making it look like he was exchanging moves with his opponent at an incredible speed.
[Kim Do-jun]: Well… I think it can’t be helped. The higher you go, the more spotlight you’ll receive. You have to accept it.
‘What is he saying now…….’
I was talking about drawing a Go board on the ground and putting Go on it, but is he seriously talking about that?
“Kick… … Kickkickkickkickkick.”
Han Ji-soo and Yoon Han-gyeol. The team members who were watching the interview live in the waiting room couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Rather, Ryu Jae-jun was dumbfounded, as if he was dumbfounded, and Lee Gil-han was embarrassed, as if he thought he was being treated unfairly since they were on the same team.
By the way, who on earth created that image projected onto the screen by the caster’s hand?
I thought about this and that for a moment. I turned it on because I was curious about the real-time reaction to the broadcast, and as expected… … I felt that way.
[Wow, isn’t that guy seriously crazy? Hahahahaha]
N Yeah~ If you want to come in, come in~ This is our space defense union~
n PER will win. Oh, of course with “Omok”
N crazy guyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ But it seems like the winner keeps going and the loser switches, so it looks like Kim Do-jun won it all
[Nunbong Villain Mad Movie. GIF]
n When I put them all together, it all makes no sense lol
ㄴ Team members are also scared of the snowball highlight + I wonder what will come out next after lying down and playing omok ㅋㅋ
ㄴ What’s surprising is that it’s only been 1 season since their debut and there are already that many highlights.
Yeah, I’m surprised too.
Is there any other player besides Kim Do-jun who has created so many GIFs in just one season since his debut?
Anyway, the PER vs. QED match ended successfully even though it was the first match of the second half that we were worried about.
***
The next day, PER’s home. Team members gathered in groups of three or four in the practice room on the second floor to replay the match between PER and QED that took place the previous day.
The noisy atmosphere must have had a lot to say about yesterday’s game.
“What are you talking about~? Usually, the person who catches the eye the most gets the interview.”
“The only thing I did in yesterday’s game was playing Omok… … .”
“But even if I were a spectator and watched the game yesterday, I think I would have asked him at least once what he was thinking.”
That’s certainly true.
The very next scene where Jaejun Ryu and I had a bloody fight 2 vs. 7 was a scene where I was lying down, scratching my stomach, and making a dent in the dirt.
Anyway, since that wasn’t why we were gathered here, we ended the conversation.
“Let’s stop talking about that and give feedback on yesterday’s game first.”
It was a successful game and went completely as planned, but that doesn’t mean there was no feedback.
When it came to detailed combat, I had to constantly remind myself that there were better options.
Yesterday’s match was shown on a huge screen in the practice room.
“Here. If you had attacked right then, the opponent wouldn’t have had a chance to dodge. You knew that when I told you last time, right?”
“That’s true, but when I try to see and react, it’s slower than I thought… … .”
“Instead of looking, thinking, and reacting, you look and react immediately. The judgment algorithm, the body immediately understands the situation and shoots.”
A moment of hesitation. That 0.1 second can often determine the outcome of a battle. In order to climb higher, I had to continue to work hard from now on in Part 2.
Of course, even if I convey that feeling with my abilities, it won’t be easy.
Even if you know all those feelings and images, actually using your body that way is another story.
“You probably understand the image, but your body doesn’t follow… … You can feel that way. There are parts like that in reality.”
In particular, not only using the body, but even though I know about air anchors and air beats, there are also areas that require calculations, such as playing billiards, so there are areas that I cannot cover with my own abilities.
“So. I prepared it.”
The door to the practice room behind opened, and a new person came in.
“Hello. I am coach Lim Seong-tae, who will be helping you with your training from now on.”
After returning, I thought about having my own team and the coach I had been looking for was Lim Seong-tae.

If you think about who you need on your team, it’s simple.
Of course, at least 7 players are required to play in the match. And a substitute player. The higher the division, the more substitute players are needed, but anyway.
And a manager who will provide macro-level feedback on the game and direct the team’s tactics.
A coach who provides detailed feedback on the game and corrects each player individually.
‘What our team doesn’t have right now is… … .’
It was definitely the latter.
From selecting team members to tactics, I was definitely in charge, and I was able to cover the detailed feedback on the game and players to some extent with my abilities…
‘That alone is clearly not enough.’
Even if you know the correct form, image, and fighting style perfectly, correcting them is something that can never be done overnight.
You have to constantly compare your poses against the perfect image, and that has to change fluidly in the case of a match.
That’s why a dedicated coach is absolutely necessary.
And Coach Im Seong-tae… … He was the coach most specialized in what this team was lacking right now.
“In order to block the power from being properly transmitted in this area, it is good to block it by strongly lifting the elbow as if it were attached to the head.”
I’ve already started watching the videos of the last PER vs QED and giving feedback to each person individually.
It was a new type of feedback, different from the feedback I had given to my team members over the years.
Feedback on how to use your strength properly, in the correct posture. Because it was a story about things that are more detailed and that we know but habitually make mistakes.
“Ah… … So here my leg posture collapsed and I couldn’t properly block the opponent’s attack.”
As I was receiving feedback from each person, I could hear voices of admiration.
Just by changing your posture a little, the amount of force required to block it changes.
‘It can’t be helped… … .’
Even before his return, Lim Seong-tae was one of the most famous coaches.
Of course, he was one of those people who didn’t receive the best treatment.
Another virtue that a coach needs. I had no knowledge of the tactics side of the Hunter’s League.
That’s why they say bringing it wasn’t as difficult as they thought.
Before the regression, things were going pretty well, even if they weren’t the best…
‘I was living while giving private lessons at the Hunter’s League Academy… … .’
I realized once again that even people with such abilities don’t have an easy life.
Anyway, before the match against PSG, who were winning by showing their overwhelming individual power, I felt fortunate that Lim Seong-tae had joined the team.
‘Of course, I don’t think we’ll definitely win with this… … But it’s definitely better.’
Perhaps the rest, which will determine success or failure, will be left to me.

Meanwhile, at PSG’s home.
A sense of silence hung over the living room.
“How was the practice match?”
“Well, it’s the same as usual.”
On the practice match results sheet that Han Ji-hoo put down, there was an X drawn in red pen under each team’s name except for PER.
In addition to practice matches, there were also matches played in the actual league. It was a 1-0 win streak in the 2nd division.
The director saw that and said calmly.
“Well… I didn’t think it would be difficult, but let’s just do it for the same amount of time as last season. You said you’d be promoted to Division 1 next season.”
“That’s right, Director.”
“Well, since you don’t have an opponent in Part 2 anymore, there’s no reason for you to stay any longer.”
“You are too kind.”
“You’re talking nonsense. Oh, but where were they?”
“What is PER?”
“They won QED. By a pretty big margin. It’s the last second season before they advance to the first, so don’t give up and just do it.”
“Us? Are we losing?”
Han Ji-hoo showed the manager the records of the previous matches.
It was match data that was not simply filled with wins and losses, but was full of indicators indicating an overwhelming victory.
There was also data on practice matches against 2nd division teams including QED, and even 1st division teams.
“Don’t you know that if I hadn’t been in that shitty first-division environment, I would have already been doing well in the first-division?”
“That’s true.”
Just as Part 3 is different from Part 2, Part 2 and Part 1 are also slightly different games.
Of course, no matter how different it is, it would be different if I polish and improve to the level of Han Ji-hoo I am now.
“Well, I didn’t mean it with another meaning. I meant it so that we don’t take it too lightly and focus more so that we can end it on a good note.”
“……All right.”
After saying those words, Han Ji-hoo headed to the practice range.
“What… … That guy is really sensitive. The team’s performance is also good. He’s aiming for the first division, so there are some things that can’t be helped, but… …
But actually, worrying about the second division is useless. After the current practice is over, the other teams in the second division will really be no match for us.”
