Plan Unveiled 

As Joon-ho watched the intense match between Daehan Reckoners and Lunar Enigma, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He had sent his best friend, Soo-jin, some crucial pointers both in-game and via text message, but he hadn't received any acknowledgement from her. While he understood that she might be too focused on the game to check her phone, the fact that she hadn't received his in-game message puzzled him.

Glancing over the terms and conditions of the weekly tournament, Joon-ho discovered that in-game chat was disabled to prevent distractions during matches. It dawned on him that Soo-jin might not have seen his messages at all. However, he quickly devised a plan to reach the team through another channel. Mr Park, being their mentor, would likely keep an eye on his phone for any urgent messages.

Swiftly composing his pointers into a text message, Joon-ho sent it to Mr. Park, hoping that he would relay the information to the team. As he hit send, a sense of relief washed over him knowing that at least one person would receive his insights.

Back in the present moment, as Mr. Park revealed the text message from Joon-ho, the team's spirits lifted. They knew that Joon-ho, with his expertise and strategic mind, would provide invaluable advice to turn the tide in their favour.

As Mr. Park addressed the team, he began by delving into the insights provided by Joon-ho.

"Alright everyone, let's review the pointers Joon-ho sent us."

He started, his tone conveying a sense of determination.

"As we know, our initiation with Soo-jin has been strong," Mr. Park continued. "But let's tweak our approach slightly. Instead of relying solely on Soo-jin's prowess, let's focus on coordinating her attacks with Jae-hwa's ranged support and Hei-ryung's ambushes. By synchronising our movements, we can catch our next opponent off guard and maximize our impact."

"Min-jee, your healing spells have been effective," Mr Park addressed the healer, "but let's explore more strategic placements. Position yourself where you can provide support while minimising exposure to the enemy. Map awareness is crucial, so stay vigilant and adapt to the changing dynamics of the battlefield."

Turning to Hyo-sonn, Mr. Park emphasised the importance of varying spellcasting patterns.

"Your magical support is invaluable, Hyo-sonn," he said. "But let's introduce some unpredictability into your approach. Surprise the enemy with unexpected movements and spell combinations. Keep them guessing, and we'll gain the upper hand."

"And Hei-ryung," Mr. Park addressed the jungler. "Your ambush attempts have been commendable. However, let's add a layer of unpredictability to your tactics. Feint in one direction and then swiftly change course to catch our next opponent off guard. By keeping them on their toes, we'll disrupt their predictive abilities."

Mr. Park concluded with a note of encouragement. "Overall, our teamwork is solid," he said, "but let's incorporate Joon-ho's insights to elevate our performance. With communication and adaptability, I have no doubt we'll emerge victorious against our next opponent. Let's show them what we're made of!"

Mr. Park nodded thoughtfully as he absorbed Joon-ho's insights.

"These are excellent suggestions," he remarked, addressing the team. "But let's not just expect Min-jee to adapt. We all need to be flexible and ready to adjust our strategies on the fly."

Turning to Soo-jin, Jae-hwa, and Hei-ryung, Mr. Park outlined a new plan of action.

"From now on, the three of you will move together as a cohesive unit," he said. "Soo-jin, you'll lead the charge as the initial war starter, with Jae-hwa providing lethal ranged support and Hei-ryung disrupting from the back line."

As for Hyo-sonn and Min-jee, Mr. Park had a specific role in mind. "

Hyo-sonn and Min-jee, you two will move parallel to the other three teammates," he explained. "You'll act as a cut-off, with Hyo-sonn's crowd control spells preventing any fleeing enemies from escaping, and Min-jee's direct support ensuring our team's longevity."

With this new strategy in place, Mr Park felt confident in their ability to outmanoeuvre their next opponent.

"Remember," he reminded them. "Adaptability and teamwork will be our greatest assets. Let's show our opponents what Daehan Reckoners are capable of!"

Mr. Park emphasized the importance of their new strategy as they prepared to secure the tower.

"While it may seem like we're backtracking by focusing on just one tower it seems," he began. "This will work to our advantage. With a more formidable formation and better coordination, we'll be able to make the most of our resources and turn the game around."

He stressed the need for patience and positioning, reminding the team to stay disciplined and not rush into unnecessary confrontations.

"Exploit any mistakes the enemy makes," he advised. "Even the smallest misstep could allow us to gain the upper hand."

Mr. Park also highlighted the significance of death equaling no spawn in NexaRealm.

"Every elimination counts," he reminded them. "If we can maintain control and take them one by one, we'll have a clear path to victory."

Lastly, he emphasized the importance of momentum and sublime team coordination.

"Once we gain momentum, we need to keep it going," he said. "And that starts with working together seamlessly as a team. Trust in each other's abilities and communicate effectively."

With these principles in mind, Daehan Reckoners prepared to execute their new strategy and secure the tower, knowing that their success relied on their ability to work together and capitalize on any opportunities that arose.

During the entirety of the 30-minute break between matches, not a single member of Daehan Reckoners uttered a word. It felt more like a lecture in school, with everyone eagerly listening to the pointers and suggestions laid out by Joon-ho. They hung on his every word, realizing the weight of his reputation and the significance of his advice. Who would have thought that Joon-ho's influence would precede him even among his schoolmates?

As they absorbed each strategic insight, the team grew more focused and determined. They knew that this final match was their chance to shine, to prove themselves not only to their opponents but also to themselves. With Joon-ho's guidance and their unwavering unity, they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

As the team gathered in a circle for a huddle, there was a palpable sense of determination in the air. Soo-jin, the stalwart fighter, spoke first, her voice filled with conviction.

"We've come too far to let this slip through our fingers," she declared. "Let's show them what Daehan Reckoners are made of!"

Jae-hwa, the sharpshooting archer, nodded in agreement.

"We've got the skills and the strategy," he chimed in. "Now let's go out there and make it happen!"

Hei-ryung, the elusive jungler, added her own words of encouragement.

"We've faced tough opponents before," she said. "But together, we're unstoppable. Let's go out there and leave everything on the battlefield!"

Hyo-sonn, the master of magic, spoke next, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"This is our chance to prove to ourselves what we're capable of," he declared. "Let's make every spell count and seize victory!"

Finally, Min-jee, the nurturing healer, offered her support.

"We've trained hard for this moment," she said. "Let's trust in each other and fight as one. We can do this!"

With a resounding cheer, the team broke from their huddle, ready to face their final challenge. As they made their way back to the arena, there was a sense of unity and purpose among them. They were determined to emerge victorious and prove themselves as winner.

As the time for Mr. Park's presence in the arena drew to a close, he knew it was time to fade into the rows of spectators.

As Mr. Park prepared to depart, Soo-jin stepped forward, her voice filled with determination.

"We've got this, Mr Park. Thanks for everything," she said, offering a reassuring smile.

Min-jee nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we'll make you proud out there. Watch closely, Mr Park," she added, her eyes shining with resolve.

Jae-hwa chimed in next, his tone filled with confidence.

"We've trained hard for this. Time to show what we're made of," he declared, a determined glint in his eyes.

Hei-ryung, usually more reserved, spoke up as well.

"We won't let you down, Mr Park. We've got a plan, and we'll execute it flawlessly," she promised, her voice steady and sure.

"We'll give it our all out there. You just sit back and enjoy the show, Mr Park," Hyo-sonn, ever the optimist, added with a grin.

Mr. Park smiled warmly at his team, pride evident in his expression.

"I have full faith in every one of you. Show them what Daehan Reckoners are made of," he encouraged, before taking his leave and disappearing into the crowd of spectators.

With the final word of encouragement to his team taking hold, he took his place among the audience who he could not see in reality, ready to watch the match unfold from a different perspective. It was now up to the players to put their strategies into action and demonstrate their skills on the battlefield.

Sitting amidst the crowd, Mr. Park felt a sense of anticipation and excitement building around him. The atmosphere was charged with the energy of competition, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride for his team. They had prepared diligently, and now it was time for them to showcase their abilities.

With a moment to himself, Mr Park took out his phone and composed a message to Joon-ho, thanking him for the invaluable pointers and support. He expressed his confidence in Daehan Reckoners' ability to excel in the upcoming match and urged Joon-ho to watch closely. It was a chance for the team to prove just how formidable they truly were, and Mr Park did not doubt that they would rise to the occasion.
