Chapter 1429. Coming To America (4)
[There he is! The legend of esports is finally making his entrance! If you’re even remotely interested in esports, you should know who that is by now! Yes, that’s Mister Yu-Min Park from South Korea, AKA SS_Chaser, making his way to the stage!][Look at the crowd losing their minds right now!]
[Are you surprised? Cuz I’m not! I mean, this is basically the same as Jordan coming back to basketball, you know? What would you have done in that situation?]
[Isn’t it obvious? I would have bought the Bulls’ season ticket or something.]
[And to the esport fans around the world, that’s who SS_Chaser is like. He’s our Jordan, although the older, more grizzled Jordan at that. The esports scene wasn’t as active as now back then, when SS_Chaser was in his prime, after all. But now he’s here, making his triumphant return to the global stage! People not losing their minds would’ve been even more strange, honestly.]
[And we’re in America, which is basically the enemy territory, too.]
[Respect for the legends knows no national boundaries, you see? Most of the fans gathered here today probably want to see their home team walk away with the victory, but that doesn’t mean they’ll forget about their respect toward the legend of this scene.]
Sure enough, the audience members raucously chanted Park Yu-Min’s ID. Such was the intensity and loudness of their chant that the entrance of other players had to be delayed somewhat.
“Wow! I didn’t know Yu-Min hyung was this famous!”
“Yeah, I know, right? He’s super duper famous?! Maybe he’s even more famous here than back home?”
“Americans are super serious about this stuff, huh.”
Kang Jin-Ho grinned wryly while eavesdropping on the Seongsim kids’ responses. He, too, agreed that the Americans’ reactions were considerably more passionate than the fans back home in Korea. Was this the difference in culture? Or was it more the case of difference in how one displayed their respect? Kang Jin-Ho had no idea.
