You’ve probably seen some of this if you watched World Champs or Prelude, right?
Sigma eSports is the team that entered the Arena with the last championship winner.
Being Korean, they entered IKL, and now they’re shaking up the ecosystem there.

They’re in the finals right now, so if you're curious, go check it out.
It’s surprisingly fun.
The Korean scene has been a bit lackluster for the past few years, but today, their level has clearly improved a lot.
Sigma’s good, but the opposing team is no slouch either.

Is she the teabagging girl?
└ That’s her.Have you ever gone to her personal broadcast?
└ Of course, I’ve been there. It was an unforgettable memory.
└ The crazy thing is she looks almost identical to her character.What’s up with their first match composition?
└ 4 mages, lol.

Forget everything else, just that teabagging girl alone makes Sigma not something to underestimate.
You might think, “Wasn’t she just a flash-in-the-pan player from Arena?”
But that’s absolutely not the case.

She wasn’t even a trainee during the Arena days.
This was officially revealed during her personal broadcast.
She couldn’t even dream of going pro because of her leg issues.
An assassin and a tank from Korea? AhhhhPhantom... Hero... PTSD kicking in.
└ These guys, why are they like this?
└ Newbies don’t need to know. Haha.
└ The ones winning the championship in North America are from Korean teams.Not the usual hype talk.How do such players keep coming from such a small peninsula?
“Finally! The IKL Summer Playoffs Finals! The second set is ready to go!”
“This Summer Playoffs has been filled with unusual strategies.”
“The upcoming match is highly anticipated. Especially, Azure has always been known for coming up with unique builds...”
The two analysts took turns sharing their thoughts.
Now, it was time for professional analysis and predictions.
Ho-eun looked at the Sigma player waiting room.
The coach was giving intense feedback, while the players listened attentively, relaxed.
Among them, Ga-wol had a bright, pretty smile on her face.
It was a nice expression.
It wasn’t just because her beauty stood out, but because it truly reflected happiness.
Lately, Ga-wol had been showing smiles often in the waiting room.
To others, it might not be noticeable, but for Ho-eun, it was surprising.
The Ga-wol he first saw was always a cold, calculating competitor.
Especially when she chose Swordmaster in the finals of Arena, her face seemed to bring out all the darkness within her.
Ga-wol, and Han Da-eun, didn’t know what “victory” truly meant.
Of course, they didn’t know what wounds they carried deep inside.
But Ho-eun knew they were slowly overcoming them.
So then... could they ever be seen again?
In the grand final of Infinity Arena, when Ga-wol handled the Swordmaster while smiling brightly.
Ho-eun felt a strange sense of anticipation.
There was still much to do, so his eyes returned to the arena.
“The players are entering the field.”
“Hekate looks really cheerful lately. Didn’t she seem pretty down at the start of the league?”
“I imagine there’s been good team care. Rumor has it she’s become really close with Ga-wol.”
“The players are ready. Let’s confirm the battlefield and the rules.”
The most critical moment in an Inbl match.
The players, and the fans watching, held their breath for a moment.
A river with red water appeared.
The sky seemed to mix a vermilion sunset with a dark, deep night.
Ironically, the battlefield that would soon be drenched in blood was covered in beautiful flowers.
For Ho-eun,
For the Korean fans watching the match, this battlefield held a lot of meaning.
“This battlefield is the Seocheon Flower Garden. It’s been a while.”
“It’s not a likely battlefield, but it should be a visual treat.”
The Seocheon Flower Garden is a battlefield inspired by Korean mythology.
It lies between the living world and the afterlife.
In line with the myth, depending on how you use objects, you could resurrect fallen allies or call in reinforcements from outside.
What’s important is the reason why such a battlefield exists in Inbl.
Each year, the winning team of the World Championship receives special rewards.
The first year, it was a cosmetic costume. Sometimes new classes were introduced, or new battlefields created.
Yeah, the Seocheon Flower Garden was made to commemorate Korea’s World Championship victory.
It’s a place that signifies the “last golden age” for IKL’s fans.
The twilight of the new dawn had arrived.
