Devil Coach

Chapter 7

'Namjoon' was the captain of the national team. His full name was Kim Namjoon and he was 22 years old this year. His competition ID was RM. In the past, Kim Namjoon was the main charger of the ACE team. After the retirement of God Wing, the captain of ACE, he changed to the JZ team and later became the JZ team's captain.

Namjoon had played in the World Series for five years and had very rich experience in competitions. This was why Coach Lee made him the captain of the fifth national team.

However, the peak period of e-sports players was only a few years. He faced problems such as slower reaction speed, decreased hand speed, etc. as he got older. He was very reluctant to part with this field but he was really tired. He had decided to retire at the end of the year.

He had won the domestic A-grade League's championship twice, but he had never touched a trophy in the World Series, let alone the championship.

The best result of the Korean team in the World Series in recent years was fourth place. At the beginning, Namjoon felt that the performance of the national team would gradually improve. He didn't expect that fourth place was actually the peak of the Korean team. This season, they didn't even make it to the quarterfinals.

As the captain of the national team, he felt disappointed, frustrated and blamed himself. However, there was no other way. The competition in the World Series was extremely fierce and they couldn't beat the foreign players. In any case, he wasn't young. He would retire and go home to spend his days in peace. He didn't want to be despised by foreign players or scolded by domestic netizens.

Namjoon suppressed the sourness in his heart as he looked at the teenagers in the training room and pretended to smile. "I just received news from the league that the new coach will come to the base in a few days. Perform well in front of the coach and strive to be selected for the next season."

Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard his words.

Ryunjin was a straightforward person and simply asked, "Captain RM, will you come back next time?"

Namjoon shook his head. "I won't come. I am older and ready to retire. This is the last time I will be the captain of the national team. You are all very talented newcomers from major clubs and have a bright future. I hope that one day, you can come back with a world championship trophy so... I have no regrets."

The group of people present immediately had red eyes at Captain RM's words.

Retirement was the end that every e-sports player faced. It was just that some people left in a beautiful manner. Even if they left, they would be missed by fans. If they occasionally started a live stream, countless fans would go to their live stream room to send gifts.

On the other hand, some people left this arena with regret and infamy.

Namjoon undoubtedly belonged to the latter.

He was a very bold and atmospheric player with a fierce style and stable mentality. He was a veteran of the e-sports circle and took good care of the newcomers of the national team. Some newcomers couldn't get used to the environment when going abroad for the first time and would get diarrhea. Captain RM would carry them to the team doctor in the middle of the night. After the group stage was lost, Captain RM was the first to stand up and apologize to the netizens on Twitter.
