It was a match between MBS and CT.
This would be the last game while the pro league rested for a while. It was because it was the season for the SC World Grand Prix and transfers.
MBS had to win this game. The total amount of points up to the 3R meant that MBS was ranked 7th out of the 8 teams. In order to escape from that, they needed to secure the 40 points from winning the 3R.
‘MBS has been in a slump the entire year. It is due to the bad atmosphere in the team.’
There were 2,000 seats for fans. Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
Lee Shin was seated in one of the seats in the stadium and closely watched the big screen. Lee Shin had come to spectate while hiding his face with a face mask and hat.
He wanted to check out the statue of MBS for himself. He could watch it online on the internet but Lee Shin wanted to enjoy the heat of the stadium.
‘They are in a slump due to Shin Ji-ho but things have improved in the 3rd round due to Shin Ji-ho’s aggressive playing. I can see why Director Bang Jin-ho has a headache.’
At that time, players could be seen on the big screen.
“Wahhhhh!”
“Waahhh!”
“MBS fighting!”
“CT fighting!”
The fans shouted and cheered. It was a lovely sight to see fans cheering while wearing the uniform of their teams and waving signs.
Lee Shin smiled.
‘The stadium really is good.’
He was envious of the players on the big screen.
He was a greedy person. He wanted all the cheers and enthusiasm to be for him. Lee Shin had shone for 4 years but he was still thirsty.
‘Someday I will be in that place again……’
Lee Shin made the decision yet again.
-h.e.l.lo everyone! Welcome to the 3R playoff finals of the 2020 SC Korea League! I am the newscaster Lee Byung-cheol!
-I am commentator Jeong Sung-tae.
-The one who needs the points from this match the most is MBS?
-That’s right. The MBS Team were sluggish during the 1st and 2nd rounds. They barely survived and their resurrection was due to the ace Shin Ji-ho.
-Player Shin Ji-ho acted as the team’s ace!
-Yes, soon it will be the summer transfer season and since Shin Ji-ho’s contract with MBS is ending, he is a player that people are trying to catch.
-Are multiple teams aiming for player Shin Ji-ho?
-Yes, they are keenly paying attention to Shin Ji-ho to bolster their teams. MBS will have to try and hold him.
Lee Shin focused on the big screen while listening to the newscaster and commentator. It was a list of matches. But the girls sitting next to Lee Shin were gawking at him.

The females weren’t ordinary e-sports fans. They were members of Lee Shin’s fan cafe! Their member ratings on the fan cafe was ‘G.o.d’ and ‘zealot.’
“But isn’t he wearing the black jeans and V-neck top that we gifted him?”
A few years ago, there was a famous about Lee Shin.
-Is there any particular reason why you wear the same clothes so often?
‘It is a waste of time to go and buy clothes.’
-You can purchase it from an online shopping mall.

Lee Shin often wore clothes that the fans gifted him, making them pleased. It was rewarding every time they saw him wear the gifts.
“Let me ask.”
One of the females pretended to take a selfie while capturing Lee Shin in the hat and mask. And she posted the photo on Lee Shin’s cafe with a question.
[t.i.tle: I was wondering if this person is Lee Shin oppa?
Contents: Right now I am in the e-sports arena in Gangnam. I am dubious about whether this is Lee Shin oppa.]
Then there was a spree of comments in real time.
[Heol, jackpot! It really is Lee Shin oppa!] [That slouch while crossing his legs is just like Lee Shin oppa.] [I’ve been following Lee Shin oppa since he became popular. At that time, I was really annoyed with all men until I was sucked into the cafe! Anyway, that natural look makes me sure that he is Lee Shin oppa.] [That superior way of leisurely crossing his legs. He must be Lee Shin oppa!] [Look at your right hand. Your index finger is so close to Lee Shin oppa.] [Aren’t those pants Dolce & Gabbana? That is definitely the clothing we sent.] [ㅇㅇ Dolce & Gabbana fits.] [Aren’t those the Valentino shoes we sent? I am glad to report it as well. ㅠ ㅠ] [There is a list of clothes sent to Lee Shin on the bulletin board announcements.] [Oppa ㅠ ㅠ!! He is in Gangnam Stadium right now?!] [Hull, complete jackpot!] [I’m going there right now! It is 30 minutes from my house!] [I’m envious. ㅠ ㅠ I am now in Jeonju. ㅠ ㅠ]
I’m in Busan. ㅠ ㅠWill I make it in time if I take the KTX?] [Should I skip school to see Lee Shin? Heh heh.]

The girls sitting next to Lee Shin felt lightheaded as it was confirmed.
“Ah, it really is Oppa. What do we do……”
“His injured wrist seems okay.”
“It might be annoying but should I ask for a signature?”
“Would he wear a mask if he wanted to be bothered? Wait until the end of the game.”
“Okay okay.”
Lee Shin was focused on the start of the match.
