game competition

I didn’t think much of it even when I was starting a business, but I came up with a huge goal of monopolizing the computer market.

‘Life is fun.’

Monopolize the computer market around the world.

It was a grandiose goal, but it was more specific and realistic than the plan to create a colony on Mars like Elon Musk.

〈Elon Musk “I’m going to put Dogecoin on the moon.”]

〈Dogecoin soars 32% on Elon Musk Twitter〉

“… … Is this shit?”

Looking at Elon Musk, I learned bold momentum as an advantage.

Whether the Mars colonization plan will succeed remains to be seen in the next few decades, but if it succeeds, it is sure to be a great thing that can change the future of mankind.

‘The reason why you can’t laugh at Elon Musk is probably because he has succeeded in doing things that everyone said no to.’

Tesla, which was almost ruined several times, is being revived and increasing production and sales.

The stock price rose nearly tenfold last year because of Tesla’s explosive growth.

It received absolute trust from investors to the extent that the word ‘Teslam’ appeared on the Internet.

―Jin Yu-gyeong: Did you make a lot of money with Tesla? The car of the future is also eagerly following!

―Jin Yu-gyeong: You haven’t ridden the Arionic 5 that was released this time. The ratings are great!

―Jin Yoo-kyung: We can’t sell it because of the lack of production.

There was a constant call from Jin Yoo-kyung.

Making a competitive electric car in the car of the future was a fact.

Nevertheless, unlike when I invested in Tesla, my perception of electric cars has changed a lot.

Looking at Oh Myung-woo’s car in the US, I saw its flaws.

‘It’s not cheap compared to an internal combustion engine vehicle. In the event of an accident, repair costs are high and it is dangerous.’

Electric cars will continue to sell well and become mainstream in the future, but so far there have been obvious weaknesses.

―Kim Shin: But I have a girlfriend.

Jin Yoo-kyung first revealed that he had a girlfriend.

I don’t think I should hide it when I know she’s giving me her heart.

―Jin Yu-gyeong: Isn’t that obvious?

-Kim Shin: Huh?

―Jin Yu-gyeong: It’s about time. Some women would just leave their brother alone.

―Jin Yu-kyung: Coveted food always has competitors. However, the battle is not over until you enter the wedding hall.

―Jin Yoo-kyung: Oh! As you know, even after entering the wedding hall, the competition can continue. For trees that cannot be felled after 10 cuts, you can bring a chainsaw.

―Kim Shin: … … .

And the second day of the Last Survivor competition, which cost $4.56 million.

After work at Earth Resource, I sat down in front of the computer side by side with Myung-Woo Oh.

“Let’s survive today. Comrade.”

“then.”

If you play games as a Korean, is it a matter of national pride? I had to show my skills without embarrassment.

“Shoot them all!”

“Two clear!”

ruined city center. The battle unfolded on the shopping center map.

While obtaining maps and information, check the safe zones that change over time.

This time, he succeeded in surviving after 5 rounds.

“Good job. Myungwoo.”

“Good work. Hey, get drunk on my play. I should get a can of Coke.”

It felt like survival was easier than usual.

It’s probably because there are a lot of beginners who are not familiar with Last Survivor because they participated because of the prize money.

Acting as a follicle among them, she succeeded in surviving from the 2nd day to the 3rd day.

―Kim Shin-hyung is good at games too.

– Unexpectedly talented.

―Make money, succeed in business, play games well. would that be small?

―Haven’t you read the books your ex-wife wrote?

– What did you write?

―You know when you read it.

It was also strangely fun to have the community admire my game skills.

I was greedy for the final prize money, saying that I didn’t know, but in the end, I couldn’t get over the 4th car and was eliminated.

It was thanks to the fierce competition for survival from the beginning as beginners were eliminated and only skilled players remained.

“Still, I was close to the top 1%.”

“yes. It wasn’t bad.”

Even though I was eliminated, I felt the thrill of the competition.

42.6 million participants.

It was an enormous number that exceeded the total population of any country.

‘I didn’t expect the scale of the game tournament to be this big.’

Every day the number of survivors decreased through the game, and from the fourth day, about 3,500 people remained.

Those who participated out of curiosity were completely filtered out, leaving the true masters of American, European, and Asian FPS games.

“The jump shot came off the motorcycle.”

“It is a skill close to acrobatic.”

“sniping. Hit the first shot at a distance of 830 meters!”

“I can say that every match from morning to evening is a legend!”

In the game broadcast of Earth Channel, commentators and streamers worked hard.

“God, purchases of Last Survivor have more than doubled.”

“It’s absolutely amazing.”

“That’s right. Hosting a tournament like this gives it a real battle royale-like peckish taste.”

Even I feel the fun of watching, but how much fun can the people participating in the game have?

E-sports competition.

Hosting a PGA Tour golf event in the United States required a lot of money, including invitation fees for famous golfers, prize money, and golf course rental fees.

The advantage of E-sports is that there are no border restrictions and anyone can participate and enjoy it.

“There are a lot of duo matches.”

“yes. When the enemy is using cover, it is an art to spread out and angle the shots.”

“Akraban. It has been confirmed that that user has a history of service in the US Navy SEALs.”

“There are many users with great skills.”

It was when I was watching the Earth Channel for a long time.

―Kim Sang-ki: The representative I love and respect.

―Kim Shin: What happened?

Kim Sang-gi, a fellow student of Arcor.

It became an employee relationship, but we maintained a comfortable relationship.

―Kim Sang-ki: I wonder what it would be like to create a last survivor professional team in Korea.

―Kim Sang-ki: Considering the current popularity, I think we can host a variety of games. I also want to promote the creation of a professional league.

StarCraft, Warcraft, LoL, Overwatch, Battlegrounds, etc.

Games that are popular worldwide had professional leagues. It was also abolished for various reasons.

―Kim Shin: Even the pro league?

―Kim Sang-ki: Yes. It seems that several clubs should be created. But there are companies that are interested in this.

―Kim Shin: There is.

Including a group of opposite sex who had been running a gaming team since the days of StarCraft, and telecommunications companies.

These days, the profit structure has diversified, so there are some game teams that operate independently without being sponsored by the parent company.

―Kim Sang-ki: You don’t have to row when the water comes in.

-Kim Shin: Hmm… … .

―Kim Shin: How is the performance of the Earth Game Team?

―Kim Sang-gi: I’m in second place now. 1st place is 2 games difference.

Kim Sang-ki managed a gaming team well in Korea.

He likes to play, and he doesn’t have a sense of authority in the first place. In addition, he spent money sparingly on the recruitment of star players.

When the Last Survivor’s professional league was held, it seemed that the Last Survivor’s box office would be affected worldwide.

K-Pop is famous in Korea, but Korean pro gamers are also well known abroad.

-Kim Shin: Yes. try.

―Kim Sang-ki: Thank you. CEO!

The final battle of the last survivor.

350 people battle for survival on five maps.

The winner is the player with the most overall survival points over five matches.

“Big. I am really nervous.”

I watched the game in company with Myung-Woo Oh.

In the office, employees were watching videos of Earth Channel streamers.

At the beginning of the game, I asked Myung-Woo Oh.

“How many Koreans made it to the final round?”

“278 people.”

“A lot.”

“It’s because The Last Survivor’s popularity is high in Korea. And a nation that is serious about games.”

“Korea isn’t unusual.”

A match for the winning prize of $4.56 million.

At the end, a rule was added so that prizes of 100,000 dollars were awarded for the 10th place and 10,000 dollars for the 100th place.

“Dead! He died again.”

“Black Nine. He has been a user who has shown great success so far.”

“I was even considered a favorite to win.”

“Is this an unexpected ambush? I lost my life to Chinese users in vain.”

Contrary to the prediction that the Koreans would sweep the top spot, seven Chinese players had more than 20 kills in a row.

Korean, Japanese, and American players died whenever they encountered them.

“Do you enjoy FPS games a lot in China?”

“Yes. I know that Korean games have been exported before and are very popular.”

“Thanks to the activities of Chinese users, the final survivor is falling into the labyrinth… … .”

Watching the game with Oh Myung-woo, I thought it was strange.

It was Koreans who did not fall easily as much as in the game.

Even if there is a hardcore or hell difficulty level, it is the standard of Korean gamers to conquer it with a smile.

There was a time when I heard that it was only strong in real-time strategy games, but Korea was also sweeping the top ranks in FPS games.

“Isn’t it a bit suspicious? Chinese users are so good at long-range shooting?”

“This is really strange. It must be difficult to hit that level well.”

Coincidentally, Oh Myung-woo seems to have had similar thoughts.

Oh Myung-woo said after several phone calls with the Last Survivor game development team and the tournament management team.

“The management team suspects that Chinese users seem to be using hacks.”

“Nukes in competitions?”

“The long-range aiming speed is less than 0.1 second.”

“That’s for sure.”

The average human reaction time is 0.25 seconds.

Gamers respond faster based on experience and senses, but 0.1 seconds was physically impossible.

“I was thinking that a nuclear would appear in Last Survivor. But I didn’t expect to use it in a competition so quickly.”

“What did the operations team decide to do?”

“Say you haven’t decided yet. Because this is such a big tournament, and it could be related to the box office success of Earth Channel. God, what should I do?”

I thought about it for a while.

Trouble at a grand convention could not be good. However, I can’t see Chinese users who use nuclear weapons going for prize money.

“Let’s get all the users suspected of nuclear weapons out, and let’s replay the match.”

“really? You must be talking a lot.”

“You have to be fair. If you proceed as it is, only dead users will take damage.”

After a while, the last survivor game stopped. In the meantime, all hack users had their Earth Channel accounts themselves closed.

〈The winner of the prize money of 4.56 million is Kim Oh-jin from Korea〉

―As expected, Koreans won.

– Absolute powerhouse in the game world

―When the final 100 people remained, 95 were Koreans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Winner Kim Oh-jin “I went to Internet cafes every day to relieve stress while preparing for the civil service exam in Noryangjin. The FPS game skills I learned at that time helped me a lot.]

―When you study for the civil service exam, it is the national rule that makes the game better.

―So, are you a civil servant now?

―Looking at the interview, he said that he had been preparing for 6 years.

―Since you have over 5 billion won, it is better than becoming a civil servant.

―Wouldn’t it decrease a lot if taxes were deducted?

―This is usually the case, but Earth Resources said that they even take care of taxes. You really have to pay 4.56 million dollars

―It’s goddamned.

―As expected, Kim Shin-hyung.

〈Earth Resources, hack user found during competition. Replay after account closure>

―As expected, China has nuclear weapons.

―The dignity of a nuclear power

―No matter what, he proudly uses his hack in the final match of the tournament.

―China shows more than anything you can imagine.

―I was going to have fun watching The Last Survivor now, but isn’t this also a paradise for nukes?

-no. Notice posted in the name of Vice President. Users who use hacks will have their Earth Channel accounts closed.

-There are a lot of kids I don’t know. Earth Channel doesn’t see that. Illegal programs are unconditionally out.
