▶The first factor to watch, the performance of the promoters
In the past, players who were promoted from excellent to special grade and from starting to special grade did not perform well. In particular, there are many cases where scores are not supported, so they are shunned by high-ranking officials or existing players, or are dragged around in a fight for seats I often witnessed the re-recommendation.
However, starting this year, the changed scoring system opened the way for promoters to be recognized. In addition, in the intensifying competition by grade, the ability and physical condition of the game have improved, posing a sufficient threat to existing players.

However, he advanced back to the special promotion level this year, and after relentlessly targeting the back of Jung Ha-neul (21, S2, Dong Seoul), who was leading by showing a strong desire to win the 24th Sunday race, he won his first victory in the special promotion level with a draw.
Perhaps because of its influence, it was recognized by Kim Hong-il (27, S1, Sejong), the existing strongman, in Gyeongju on the 26th Sunday of Gwangmyeong, and showed his potential for future growth by following the latter. In the second half of this year, a large number of high-scoring players have been promoted, so experts say that if these players are not intimidated in the competition with existing players, they will be able to settle down with sufficient names in the prize.

In the past, the special selection class was like a solid framework that rarely broke. However, tectonic fluctuations are beginning little by little.
The reason may be that the players' skills have been leveled up due to body changes and systematization of training, and the other reason is that injured players are not showing their skills after returning. Jung Hae-min (22nd, S1, Dong Seoul), who sought to enter the super special selection in the second half of the year, was injured at the end of May and made a comeback in the first round of the second half. On the first and second days, he took the top spot due to his advantage in the lineup, but was upset by his colleague Yang Seung-won (22nd, SS, Sejong) in Sunday's final despite his good position. It seems that it will take a little more time for Jung Hae-min to show his skills as before.
Jeong Jeong-gyo (21st, S1, Gimpo) and Jeong Ha-neul (21st, S2, East Seoul) also had injuries in March and April, respectively, and Jeong won on the first day of his return, but he has not shown the same skills as before. Jung Ha-neul is also suffering from a slump in not recording a win for the second time since his return. If players who have promoted these gaps or who have been undervalued dig in, it seems that there can be a change in perception even at the special class, such as the iron fortress.
"The second half of the race began in earnest, and promoters were not noticeable in the past, but this year, a different atmosphere is needed," Lee Keun-woo said. "Rather than concluding that a promoter is a weak player, a reasoning that takes into account the player's main tactics is needed. In addition, he advised, "It seems necessary to carefully check the physical condition of the players rather than the recognition of the players."
