Chapter 408
I never dreamed that we would be asked to do the theme song for the
Even I, who always prepares for the future, never thought that such an event would happen.
The other members must have been so dumbfounded when they heard Manager Hyung's words.
"Where on earth did that offer come from..........?"
"It seems that the
"They came to see the
It was a development beyond imagination.
Everyone knew that this Cold Cup was being held in Korea, but the
Manager Hyung laughed heartily as he watched us still blinking.
"They probably had a list of candidates including us from the beginning. Since it's the Cold Cup held in Korea, they probably wanted a local artist to sing the theme song. If we only look at our performance, there's no team in Korea that can keep up with us right now, right?"
".........That's right."
Ji Yoon-chul confidently nodded to his manager's words.
In the past, everyone would have been a little embarrassed by his manager's words or waved their hands, saying that they weren't at the level yet.
Now, the youngest has risen to a high enough level that he can confidently admit it.
No one can refute it.
I folded my hands and summarized what my manager had said.
"They recruited us because we're a team with a high class and status that can sing the theme song of the Cold Cup, which is so popular that it's broadcasted all over the world, and because we're playing
"Yes. You're good at summarizing Karis?"
"It's a simple story."
The leader, Song Hyung-bin, looked around at the members and asked for their opinions.
"What do you all want to do? It looks fun to me."
"I'm definitely in favor!"
"It's not often that we get a chance to sing the theme song for a big event held in our country, but we definitely have to do this."
"We definitely have to call."
Everyone unanimously agreed.
Since Cold Cup is the largest gaming competition, has a large number of viewers from all over the world, and is a huge festival that receives attention from foreign media, singing the theme song here would be a chance to make our name known once again.
So while we were all gathered together, we took the time to look up the atmosphere of the Cold Cup theme songs that have been released so far and what the actual stages were like.
"First of all, from what I remember, last year's stage had a bit of a rock 'n' roll feel. It must have been sung by a famous British band."
Yoo Min-ha, who knows a lot about game-related events, searched for last year's Cold Cup stage on his laptop.
The singer is a famous band that has been active in the UK for a long time, Breakersfeel.
The song title was
After watching the stage video quietly for a few minutes, I felt something welling up in my chest without realizing it.
This feeling of 'excitement' that is commonly referred to as 'excitement'.
I felt a desire to go out to the battlefield and cut down my enemies right away.
Maybe it was because it actually happened in
A fierce battle to seize the throne, and a hero of the troubled times who appeared in the midst of it.
These words and scenes came to mind one after another.
Heo Yu-bin, who was watching the gorgeous laser effects and sparks bursting out from the front of the stage, quietly exclaimed in admiration.
"The stage was really cool."
"Don't you feel your heart pounding? The lyrics and the melody are both great."
"The trophy coming out through the sparks and the players coming up from both sides are amazing."
"Shall we watch the stage from the year before last?"
We watched it all at once, even on stage two years ago and three years ago.
Each artist who performed on stage pursued different colors and genres, so the songs themselves were all unique and full of charm.
One thing they had in common was that the atmosphere of all the stages was grand and the songs contained content about battle, honor, and the throne.
I think that kind of content was the main focus because
Also, since Cold Cup itself is a stage where the world's best players compete, I think it's right for content related to such battles to come out.
"I have a rough idea of what direction the songs should be taken in."
Heo Yu-bin nodded and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Hyung, if we were to make this ourselves, how long would it take?"
"Like the last album, Yubin, it might be a bit tight for you to make it alone. It's early August now and the song should be released in October, so I think it'll take about a month and a half to two months. We have to put our song into the music video made by
"Yubin. It's definitely impossible to do it alone-."
"Ah, I'm absolutely not doing it alone this time! Absolutely!"
Everyone, including Manager Hyung, was worried about Heo Yu-bin, so Heo Yu-bin waved both hands urgently.
"Last time, I did it alone, so it was physically very difficult, so I will definitely not do it alone this time. If there are no other problems, I will gladly accept help from others."
"That's fortunate. I was afraid that you would get greedy and say, 'I'll do it alone again this time!'"
Kang Si-yoon made a gesture of wiping sweat from his forehead with an exaggerated action.
"First, the company will coordinate the composers' schedule and let us know, so I think we should wait a little bit."
"Then, can we brainstorm how we want to do the stage?"
"What was the slogan for this year's Cold Cup? If I remember correctly, every Cold Cup had a different slogan."
So this time, I looked up some information about this year's Seoul Cold Cup, and the official slogan came up right away.
"Past, Future, Present. It says 'Past, Future, Present'. Isn't that so profound?"
"Past, Future, Present.........."
"Isn't it usually listed as past, present, and future? Is there another reason why the present is placed last?"
I thought deeply.
As Chae Eun-gyu said, it is common to list them as past, present, and future.
However, the fact that Cold Cup emphasized the present is..........
"I think they wanted to emphasize that both the past and the future start from the present. If there is no present, we cannot recall or imagine what happened in the past or what will happen in the future."
"...Oh."
"...Huh?"
"Dude, you were really cool just now. You were almost a poet?"
"Hmm? I just said whatever came to mind."
I literally just said whatever came to mind, but everyone was looking at me with eyes that thought I was amazing.
I was quite embarrassed.
"Wait a minute. What exactly did you say just now, hyung? I have to write this down. I think we can just make this material with just one thing?"
"Because the past, the future, and the present all exist-."
"Wait a minute! I'll open that notepad!"
Did this one word of mine give him such great inspiration?
Heo Yu-bin exclaimed in admiration as he recorded what I said on his phone.
Manager Hyung closed his laptop and stood up.
"Then I'll tell you all that you said it was good. The schedule will probably come out in two days at the earliest, or this week at the latest, so just wait a little bit."
"Yes!"
"Let's make a really cool stage."
I completely agreed with Song Hyung-bin.
Past, future, and present.
The slogan of this Cold Cup, which penetrates the flow of time, somehow touched my heart.
Without the present, we can't remember the past or draw the future.
The past was created by us in the present, and the future is also created by us in the present.

Unlike other games, there are three world-class competitions held each year, and the largest of them is the 'Cold Cup'.
Korea, which has many gamers and traditionally has many top-ranked players, also has a well-developed
Such a world-class stage is unfolding in Korea.
You can see Korean pro-gamers who have risen to the ranks of the world's best, and you can also see them lifting the championship trophy in their home country.
As this situation unfolds, discussions about who will sing the theme song for the Cold Cup held in Korea have also been frequently brought up.
All the theme songs for the past Cold Cups have been sung by famous singers or bands, overwhelming the audience with their incredible force.
Usually, domestic artists tend to sing theme songs, so everyone was curious about who would come from Korea, and this information started to be released in early September.
-(Link) These guys are in charge of the Cold Cup theme song? Who is Seleste?
└What kind of male idol is this?
└No, what the hell ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What kind of male idol is this? The mood is suddenly dead
└If this is real, last year's Breakers Phil->Seleste ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ What are you going to do about the weight difference? Isn't it a big deal?
└Who came up with the idea of recruiting a male idol that I've never heard of before for Cold Cup? I wonder what their brain structure is.
- I looked it up and Seleste << It's not like they're really unknown.... They sold nearly 3 million copies of their last album.
└Isn't that more than half of it a hoarding?
└FRㅋㅋ Who trusts the K-pop idol market these days?
└I looked it up and they're not completely unknownㅇㅇ
└They're not unknown, but when a male idol comes out after a really great band, it's inevitable that the weight is greatly reduced.
When the news came out that Seleste was chosen as the Cold Cup theme song artist, Korean gamers naturally reacted with bewilderment.
Considering that a band with incredible showmanship came out right before Cold Cup, isn't the weight difference obvious?
And does idol music really fit Cold Cup, which values a grand atmosphere?
However, on Saturday, September 10th, when the
[Player Karis! He beat three people by himself! What did I just see? It was a super play. A super play!]
[This is an emergency, super emergency! The combination that should have rolled the snowball tripped on the foot and fell! I told you over and over that this shouldn't happen, but the place it fell was mid, mid! If Player Karis' Stefan grows, it'll be a big problem, and ended up getting killed. What are you going to do about this!]
-(Video) This is a scene from Idol eSports? What is Inmar Stefan's skill level? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋ
└Wow, he's fucking good
└What did I just see
└Is he really an idol? No matter how I look at it, his technique is fcking dope. That technique shouldn't come out unless you put a lot of time into the game
└No, I can avoid Chureian E, but how on earth did he avoid Reika's final?
└'Predict the future'
└I'm a perennial nerd so I'll summarize it for you.... This guy's tier is at least plat or higher
-(Video) Stefan 1vs3 dribbling video The main character is Seleste Karis The group that came out to sing the theme song for this Cold Cup
└Damn, they weren't cast for nothing
└Isn't their fundamentals amazing?
└No ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Was it a typical example of skill? That's really unexpected
└Sorry for swearing.... No but who would have thought they'd be a group that good at games like that? Fck, their changeup is crazy
└Even if you look at their pre-game interview, they played 10 rounds of call placement and got 9 wins and 1 loss, Diamond ㅋㅋ They're crazy talented
└9 wins and 1 loss in placement???
└Fck.... Who has been in Iron for 5 years and this guy is good at games and handsome
