Recently I came around this amazing Korean manga about SCBW esports scene. The manga is quite old (completed 2008) so its quite surprising I didnt know about it recently.

The manga follows a young Korean teenager on his path to become a pro gamer first by winning courage tournament then entering a pro gamer house, and I hear he eventual wins WCG at the end of the manga.

The manga is very well drawn and story is quite amazing as well.

The author has first 7 volumes in his blog for free (manga is in korean)

But Im not sure where I can find rest of the manga. Does anyone have any information regarding this?

This is what the manga looks like

In the manga they dont use the real life characters like 'lim yo hwan' or real team names like SKT T1, because in Korea, you can run into lawsuit if using real names without permission.

But all of the pro gamers appearing in the manga are based on real life pro gamers, such as the 'emperor of terrans' kim il-min is based on boxer, 'storm zerg' wang joon ho is based on yellow, and a top female pro gamer lee ji eun is based on tossgirl. There are also characters based on nada, xellos, nal_ra etc but cant remember their names right off the bat.

I remember reading a Manga where (was it Nada?) Had to play against the devil in order to save the world. It was good.

This looks like a really good incentive to start learning Korean :3

Was this the one with the reaver end game situation? That was so good.

Are naver accounts free?

Oh i found on google play but its like 2.50 usd per volume or 100 usd for whole 40 volumes..

I was wondering if some one knows where free version can be found since i dont have that kind of money

. There were some koreans who knows leaked torrent of it floating around, but they were being highly secretive about it.

Please or register to reply.
