Chapter 61: Advance or Retreat?

The Seoul Esports Hall is located in Gwangjin District. In this life, many famous Korean e-sports clubs, such as SKT, Samsung, CJ, etc., are located here, and they are very trending to form an e-sports city. Therefore, Gwangjin District can be regarded as a famous e-sports district in South Korea.

After getting off the car, Lee Sang Hyuk and others found that there were many reporters standing around the front of the Seoul Esports Hall. The competition venue was very different from the Gwangju Stadium, which they had previously played in the Gwangju Group Competition! After all, the latter itself is a gymnasium, but it was temporarily expanded into an e-sports hall during small and medium-sized e-sports events. The former is a place designed for e-sports, and its philosophy is also adhering to e-sports first.

As a venue that can accommodate a large number of audiences to watch the competition on the spot, in order to eliminate echoes and give the audience the most perfect live experience, the Seoul Esports Hall has spent a lot of effort on sound silencing in its indoor audio. The materials and design of the entire building all use sound silencing and sound absorption treatment. It can be said that the e-sports building of this scale is only a hand in the entire world.

On the other hand, as a world-class e-sports building, Seoul E-sports Hall will actually hold an amateur national high school e-sports league. From this we can also see that the Korean e-sports atmosphere reborn by Lee Sang Hyuk in this life is rich.

....

"Look, is that the school bus from Gwangju Kehao?" Among the reporters who were surrounded by the e-sports hall, a sharp-eyed person saw the school bus that Li Sang-he and the others were slowly driving in. He couldn't help but point his hand at his colleagues beside him and asked.

"Well, it's indeed a school bus from Gwangju Kehao, so Smile must be on it." Someone looked around and confirmed it carefully, and said with certainty.

As soon as the words were finished, other reporters holding microphones immediately called the staff carrying cameras beside them and flocked to the Kwangju Kegao school bus. After all, this kind of amateur high school and upper-class league is not as good as those star-studded professional leagues. Naturally, these reporters cannot find a good entry point like they usually interview those e-sports stars and can make a noticeable report. Therefore, Lee Sang-hyuk, who is already a quasi-national e-sports idol and has recently been at the peak of his music industry, has naturally become the best choice for these journalists waiting in front of the Seoul E-sports Hall.

.....

"Lee Sang Hyuk, do you have confidence in this game?"

"Smile, do you think there are any players in other school teams in this league that are particularly worthy of your attention?"

"Lee Sang Hyuk, after you used Raven in previous competitions, it has been rumored on the Internet that you are the number one Raven on the Korean server, but many players have questioned this. They think Raven on Theshy is stronger. What do you think?"

"Lee Sang Hyuk..."

Before Lee Sang Hyuk could finish his appreciation of the whole picture of the Seoul E-sports Hall in front of him, he was surrounded by reporters who flocked to him. Various questions were thrown out in a row, which made him very upset. Fortunately, there were many classmates on the school bus this time. Under their cover, Lee Sang Hyuk hurriedly answered a few questions and finally walked into the interior of the E-sports Hall.

At this time, another school bus drove slowly in front of the Seoul Esports Hall and stopped at the parking spot.

After the car stopped, the door opened and everyone in the car walked out one after another. Those students who had never seen the Seoul E-sports Hall in reality were amazed again when they saw such a gorgeous e-sports building.

The ones in the car were a boy with slightly long hair and a girl with inconvenient legs and feet and sitting in a convenient wheelchair.

"Slow down, I'll support you, come." The boy walked in front, turned around and carefully supported the wheelchair and dragged it down slowly. When he reached the step where the wheelchair landed, the boy stepped down first and then supported the ground with his feet. He picked up the wheelchair and the girl sitting in the wheelchair with all his strength. After carefully taking a step back, he slowly put it down.

"You are tired, you support me, but I can actually hold it down slowly by myself." The girl couldn't help but say with some distress when the boy raised the wheelchair before.

"Ha, you are not tired or tired. You are very light, lighter than a wheelchair." The boy shook his head, pushed the wheelchair and followed the people walking in front, and said whispers to the girl in the wheelchair with a smile on his face.

"Ah, really, Xianxu, don't lie to me." The girl sitting in a wheelchair gently stroked a strand of hair scattered on her forehead with her hands, turned her head and said with a smile.

"How could I lie to you? I am the honestest person in our Shengyao High School." The boy named Cui Xianxu said without blushing, "Hey, if you don't believe me, you can ask the classmates in front, they will definitely say I'm not."

"Hmm?" The girl couldn't help but be stunned by Choi Hyun-wook's inconsistent questioning and answering.

"Well, because they always think that I am the honestest person in Gwangju." Choi Hyun-wook paused and said with a smile.

"Haha." The girl was amused, and she nodded while sitting in a wheelchair, "Nah, we Hyun Wook are the honestest people in Gwangju."

At this time, Shengyao High School was walking in front of him and suddenly made a series of discussions.

"Oh, who is the person in front? How come there are so many reporters interviewing him? Could it be that they are also here to participate in the competition like us?"

"Smile, Lee Sang-hyuk from Kogao Gwangju should be here to participate in the competition. After all, this time it is the quarterfinals, so it is impossible to let the substitute be there again."

"Yes, I watched those two games before, and I almost lost."

"Well, I don't know why he hasn't been there before."

"It should be busy with "Music Bank". Didn't he play on stage this Friday? He won the championship in this episode."

"Ah, really, it's so awesome."

“….”

Listening to the discussion ahead, Cui Xianxu, who was pushing the wheelchair, couldn't help but sink slightly, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

"Are they talking about the Smile of Kogao?" The girl sitting in a wheelchair did not notice the change in Choi Hyun-wook's face behind her at the first time, and said unconsciously, "I heard that he is very strong, I hope this competition won't be encountered at the beginning."

"Well, I also hope they won't be eliminated and can advance to the finals." Cui Xianxu nodded, and said softly to the girl in the wheelchair, or to himself, "Because this time, I must prove that I am stronger than him."

"Well, we Hyun-wook are the best." The girl sitting in the wheelchair obviously felt the change in his emotions from Choi Hyun-wook's words. She couldn't help but smile and put her hand on Choi Hyun-wook's hand pushing the armrest of the wheelchair and snatched it hard.

In fact, Choi Hyun-wook has no idea that Smile, who is in Gwangju, is invincible. On the contrary, it can even be said that since Lee Sang Hyuk's name of "Guangju Naruto" began to spread slowly on the Internet, Choi Hyun-wook once paid attention to this peer who was about the same age as him but was also outstanding in e-sports.

But because Lee Sang Hyuk later gradually participated in some entertainment activities in order to improve his family's condition, and recently, because he didn't even play in the music banking matter, Choi Hyun-wook, who has been paying attention to him, gradually became a little disgusted because he always insisted that e-sports, like any other sports competition, requires a lot of training, and if he doesn't advance, he will retreat, and he must never be distracted.

Therefore, this time, in addition to sticking to his own opinion, Choi Hyun-wook also wanted to "awaken" Lee Sang-hyuk through the competition, making him realize that he is gradually drifting away from the road to making money.

But whether Lee Sang Hyuk is really "if you don't advance, you will retreat" is not the case. After all, he was at the top of the pyramid of e-sports in his previous life and he was so immersed in Korea with a "surreal" phenomenon. Whether this set of "reality" theory can be applied to him remains to be investigated. But this view of "if you don't advance, you will retreat" has actually been put forward by some people in the e-sports circle since e-sports gradually became entertained, and a group of people supported this view.

However, as the level of Korean e-sports entertainment becomes higher and higher, a new group of "e-sports entertainment circle" has gradually formed, this view has gradually been abandoned by mainstream views. After all, the current situation in South Korea at this time is that the e-sports circle is the entertainment circle, and e-sports stars are entertainment stars, because many people are clearly aware that another difference between e-sports competitions and other sports competitions is that its essence is to entertain the public.
