“Not only do I get to represent North America in Grand Chase,” said JRTSeven, a North America Grand Chase team member headed to the World Championship Tournament. “but I get to travel to South Korea, meet the Ntreev and KOG staff, hang out with some bros, and overall have the time of my life. I feel truly honored.
