Are you Good at Games and Receive Military Service Benefits

Are you Good at Games and Receive Military Service Benefits?... “LoL is the Most Popular Sport”

For Korean elite athletes, winning an Olympic medal and a gold medal in the Asian Games are the highest honors.

In addition to the honor of being at the top of the sport, male athletes also receive military service benefits. 카지노

All six players on the Korean national team who won the e-sports 'League of Legends' (LoL, LoL), which became an official sport at the Hangzhou Asian Games, will receive special military service benefits.

All men's gold medalists at the Asian Games receive these benefits, but fans' views toward the LoL national team are a bit special.

On the 30th, at the Korea Sports Council's Sports Diplomacy Lounge at the Grand New Century Hotel in Hangzhou, China, a somewhat embarrassing request was made to the LoL national team, 'Please say something to the young people who are going to serve in the military.'

In response, ‘Faker’ Lee Sang-hyeok (T1) tried to pass the microphone to ‘Ruler’ Jae-hyuk Park (Jingdong Gaming), who was sitting at the back left, but Park waved his hand.

Lee Sang-hyuk turned to the right and looked at ‘Chovy’ Jeong Ji-hoon (Gen.G).

Jeong Ji-hoon, who held the microphone, said, "We have military service benefits, and I am thankful that we were born in a good time.

I respect those who go to the military.

I hope they have a good life."

Some people view those who are exempt from military service as 'pathetic'.

The question is, does it make sense to receive military service benefits for a gold medal won through e-sports without breaking a sweat?

This ultimately touches on the fundamental question of ‘Is e-sports a sport?’ and furthermore, ‘What is a sport?’

Lee Sang-hyuk, a world-renowned ‘superstar’ representing e-sports, clearly expressed his thoughts on this.

He said, “The traditional concept of sports is to move your body and be active, but what is more important than that is that if the process of playing and preparing has a positive influence on many people, and if the sight of competing provides inspiration, I think that is the most important meaning of sports.

“Winning a gold medal would have been a great help to many people,” he said.

He also emphasized that e-sports can go beyond sports and become a medium for generational communication.

Lee Sang-hyuk declared, “I can confidently say that LoL is the most popular sport in Korea,” and added, “Even if people from my parents’ generation know games, they often only know StarCraft.

“It may be the greatest joy in itself,” he said.

Fencing Team Heo Jun and Choi In-jeong Return

[Asian Games] Fencing Team Heo Jun and Choi In-jeong Return the Taegeuk Mark, “I was Happy so Far”

Final farewell words at the gold medalist's press conference: "I hope you do well, juniors."

Men's fencing foil Heo Jun (35, Gwangju City Hall) and women's fencing epee In-jeong Choi (33, Gyeryong City Hall) said a bitter farewell as they returned their Taegeuk flags for the last time at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

On the 28th, the two players attended the gold medalists' press conference held at the Sports Diplomacy Lounge of the Korean Sports Council at the Grand New Century Hotel in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, and expressed their thoughts on ending their careers as national team members.

Heo Jun said, “I did my best and have no regrets,” and added, “I hope that the junior men’s foil players will do well in the future.

I hope they will overcome it well.” 온라인카지노사이트

Choi In-jeong read the thoughts typed on her cell phone, saying, “I prepared this because I thought it would be my last time today.”

He recalled, “This competition was my last dance as a member of the national team.

I received the Korea Sports Council Sports Award in February of this year and expressed my thoughts that I would become a player worthy of the award, but it did not work out as I wanted, so I was upset.”

He added, "Fortunately, I won two gold medals in this competition, and I am happy to be able to decorate the final stage happily."

Heo Jun won the men's foil team event on the 27th with Lee Gwang-hyeon (Hwaseong City Hall), Ha Tae-gyu (Daejeon Urban Development Corporation), and Lim Cheol-woo (Seongbuk-gu Office), winning the final gold medal.

Choi In-jeong also won the women's epee individual event on the 24th, followed by the team event with Kang Young-mi (Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Office), Lee Hye-in (Gangwon Provincial Office), and Song Se-ra (Busan Metropolitan City Hall) on the 27th, earning her two championships.

The two players who dominated an era in Korean fencing will end their careers as national team players with this competition.

Fellow players who attended the event cheered on the two players as they walked their final journey.

Ha Tae-gyu said, "Heo Jun and I have been on the national team together for over 10 years.

It's sad to hear that it's going to end like this.

Still, I think I'll have to let him go.

I want to say you worked hard."

Lim Cheol-woo said, "Every time I got a bad result in a game, I asked Heo Jun a lot of questions, and I remember him telling me to come to my senses rather than saying nice things.

I was like a 'fact bomber,' but I received a lot of help along the way. Thank you."

“It does,” he said.

Lee Gwang-hyun said, “Heo Jun and I have something in common: we are of small physical condition.

So he saw and learned a lot from his brother.

He was a player with a great sense of responsibility within the national team.”

The female foil players also gave their final greetings to Choi In-jeong, who was leaving.

Kang Young-mi, the eldest member of the national team, said, "Injeong and I are so close that we can say we were a couple from a past life," and encouraged, "I have a lot to learn from Injeong, who has been the ace of our national team since the 2012 London Olympics."

“Song Se-ra,” whom she faced in the finals of the individual event and joined forces with in the team event, was a cold-hearted but affectionate older sister.

“She was grateful,” he said.

Lee Hye-in also said, “She was a player I could learn a lot from.”

Asian Games, Medal Hopeful Park Jeong-ah

Asian Games Medal Hopeful Park Jeong-ah

Kim Yeon-kyung, captain of the Korean women's volleyball team after retiring from the national team, has a bleak medal outlook, but hopes are high on Park Jeong-ah's 'clutch ability' 온라인카지노

Kim Yeon-kyung (35, Heungkuk Life Insurance), who is watching the Hangzhou Asian Games from the broadcaster's seat rather than the court, feels sad remembering the heavy burden carried by Park Jeong-ah (30, Pepper Savings Bank).

Kim Yeon-kyung put down her Taegeuk mark after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

The Korean women's volleyball team's captain's armband, which had belonged to Kim Yeon-kyung for a long time, has been worn by Park Jeong-ah since 2022.

After Kim Yeon-kyung's retirement from the national team, Korean women's volleyball fell sharply.

They lost all 12 games in the 2022 International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) Volleyball Nations League (VNL), and suffered the humiliation of losing all 12 games in this year's VNL.

At the Asian Volleyball Championships, they failed to advance to the semifinals for the first time in history and fell to 6th place.

Park Jung-ah, who enjoyed the joy of winning the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and reaching the semifinals of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics as the ‘youngest member of Kim Yeon-kyung and the golden generation’, is enduring pain as the ‘captain of the post-Kim Yeon-kyung era’.

Park Jeong-ah said in an interview last May, "As the seniors who led the national team for a long time retired from the national team, we were unable to show the performance that fans wanted in last year's international competition.

However, the painful experience is also an experience," he said.

"Having gained experience last year, I will be able to show much better performance this year."

Park Jung-ah's wish did not come true in the VNL and Asian Championships.

The Hangzhou Asian Games were held this year in the Korean women's volleyball team.

This is your last chance to restore your honor.

Park Jung-ah serves as the team's focal point both on the court and in the locker room.

Before Kim Yeon-kyung retired from her national team, Park Jeong-ah was paired with Kim Yeon-kyung and took charge of her wing attack.

With the match between Korea and Japan at the Tokyo Olympics tied at 12-14 in the 5th set, Park Jeong-ah used consecutive attacks to make it 14-14 deuce.

Even when the score was down 15-14 due to Japan's mistake, Park Jeong-ah completed a dramatic comeback victory with a successful finishing attack.

At the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, where she won the gold medal, Park Jung-ah had the second largest offensive share after Kim Yeon-kyung.

Among the Korean women's volleyball team that participated in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Park Jeong-ah was the fifth youngest.

However, seniors who had been Park Jeong-ah's umbrella, including Kim Yeon-kyung, Kim Su-ji (Heungkuk Life Insurance), and Yang Hyo-jin (Hyundai Engineering & Construction), all left the national team, and even Kim Hee-jin (IBK Industrial Bank of Korea) failed to join the Hangzhou national team due to the aftereffects of an injury.

Now, Park Jeong-ah leads her juniors who have shared her painful experience, and focuses her efforts on the rebound of Korean women's volleyball.

Her nickname for Park Jeong-ah is ‘Clutch Park.’

She soared and scored at key moments in the domestic V-League and international competitions.

She also signed the largest contract ever for a Korean women's professional volleyball player with a three-year contract with Pepper Savings Bank worth a total of 2.325 billion won.

“Everyone trained hard for the Asian Games medal,” Park Jung-ah said.

“We have a great desire to achieve the goal, so if we all work hard together, there will be good results,” she said.

Although she is no longer confident of winning an Asian Games medal, if ‘Clutch Park’ Park Jeong-ah’s decisiveness shines in Hangzhou, Korean women’s volleyball can also reach an inflection point.

MLB.com: “Ryu Hyun-jin Could Sign a Multi-Year Free Agent Contract

MLB.com: “Ryu Hyun-jin Could Sign a Multi-Year Free Agent Contract After the End of the Season.”

After returning from injury, the average ERA was 2.65 in 7 games... 36-year-old Ryu Hyun-jin, who has a good pitching streak without ups and downs and competes with his ball control rather than his pitch, ‘appeals his charm’ to MLB clubs 바카라사이트

Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto Blue Jays)'s return to the KBO League appears to be delayed by several years.

MLB.com, the American professional baseball Major League (MLB) website, predicted on the 8th (Korean time) that Ryu Hyun-jin, who will become a free agent (FA) after the 2023 season, could sign a multi-year contract with an MLB club.

MLB.com highlighted Ryu Hyun-jin in an article titled ‘9 prospective free agents who must finish the 2023 season well.’

The media said, "Generally, it takes a long time for a pitcher who has undergone elbow ligament joint surgery (Tommy John surgery) to get back on track, but Ryu Hyun-jin shows a different side," and "After returning, he pitched 34 innings in 7 starts. “While taking charge, he closed the gap in Toronto’s starting rotation with outstanding ERA of 2.65 and WHIP (on-base percentage allowed per inning) of 1.06.”

He continued, “Although 36-year-old Ryu Hyun-jin will not be able to sign a four-year free agent contract worth $80 million (approximately 106.6 billion won) (signed with Toronto in 2020), if he continues his current form, he can sign a multi-year free agent contract, which seemed unlikely. “We will be able to sign a contract with an MLB club,” he analyzed.

Ryu Hyun-jin returned to the big leagues last month, 14 months after undergoing left elbow ligament fusion surgery in June of last year.

Except for the game against the Cleveland Guardians on the 8th, where he was forced off early due to being hit by a batted ball, he has continued to be in a stable form, taking responsibility for more than 5 innings in all games since his return.

Detailed records are also good.

He has 3 wins, 2 losses, and an average ERA of 2.65, and maintains top records in detailed indicators such as a hitting percentage of 0.219, walks per 9 innings of 2.12, and BABIP (batting average on balls in play) of 0.242.

In fact, not many experts predicted that Ryu Hyun-jin would remain in MLB after the 2023 season.

This is because it was judged that no MLB team would offer a large amount of money to Ryu Hyun-jin, who has a history of surgery and is older.

However, Ryu Hyun-jin returned quickly and immediately showed off his top skills, showing his appeal to MLB teams in need of a starting pitcher.

The reason MLB experts predict a high possibility of Ryu Hyun-jin renewing his contract is not just because of his performance this season.

It also plays a role in the fact that Ryu Hyun-jin is not a fastball pitcher who competes with pitches, but rather a pitcher with ball control who can control opposing hitters with precise ball control.

Usually, fastball pitchers tend to have a decline in performance according to the aging curve (an aging curve in which skills decline with age), but players with good pitch control are less affected by aging problems.

In fact, in terms of pitch alone, Ryu Hyun-jin is at the lowest level in MLB.

His average fastball speed this season is 88.4 miles per hour (about 142.3 km), which is very slow.

According to Baseball Savant, an MLB record statistics site, Ryu Hyun-jin's average fastball velocity this season is only 607th among 618 MLB pitchers who threw more than 100 pitches.

However, Ryu Hyun-jin is continuing his top form with various breaking balls and 'awl control'.

Meanwhile, Ryu Hyun-jin announced that he would finish his career with his former home team, the Hanwha Eagles of the KBO League.

He did not specify when he would return to the Korean stage.
