[TS] Starting the Broadcast

Chapter 61 - Story



Bang! Bang! Bang!
-ㅋ Yeah, that’s it.
-Is this the K-shotgun that’s trending worldwide? Very impressive.
-Condolences to the keyboard, 3 years of service ㅠㅠ
“No, this is too much!”
Two consecutive losses with Teemo… I managed to endure and get past that somehow.
As a fellow broadcaster, I understand it can’t be helped since there was a mission involved.
But whether it was truly the entertainment god’s blessing or not, when I met Soldier for the third time, my mental state was shaking.
Moreover, this time he was on the enemy team, and I felt uncontrollable anger at the sight of Soldier carrying alone with Fiora instead of Teemo.
Why Teemo when on my team and Fiora when on the enemy team!
To add insult to injury, the tier demotion effect that popped up after the game ended.
No, doctor, what nonsense is this?
Me in Diamond 2… Me in Diamond 2!
My keyboard wails under my uncontrollable anger.
But on the other hand, my sharp sense as a broadcaster shouts.
This is an opportunity.
During the three games, viewers didn’t care about the different platforms and went back and forth between my room and Soldier’s, relaying each other’s reactions in real-time.
-Soldier doesn’t seem to know Hani ㅋ Someone donated Hani’s cam broadcast edited video, but he looks like he’s seeing it for the first time.
-Why donate that ㅋ These malicious viewers, I swear.
-But he seems interested in Hani’s mid carry potential. Mid lane is certainly important.
-ㅋ The level of jokes is insane.
I quietly open Twit TV and enter Soldier’s broadcast.
An edited video of my first penalty broadcast was being donated just then.
The sight of Hanyangi meowing and making a face like she bit a bug while reacting.
“Is this person a cosplay specialized broadcaster?”
-ㅋ Look at that reaction. I want to show the bunny girl video too.
-To think such talent is on that platform, this is a big loss for Twit TV. Let’s quickly recruit her as a free agent.
-YouTube is not enough… Hani should transfer to Twit TV!
“No, why are you going to other platform broadcasts and chatting like this, you malicious viewers!”
-You’re secretly watching Soldier’s broadcast right now too ㅋ
-Just tell the truth.
While bickering with viewers in chat, I keenly check things that need to be confirmed.
Soldier’s current viewer count of about 6,000.
Quite favorable reactions despite donations related to me coming up one after another.
So although it was an impromptu thought, I could challenge more boldly.
[Hani donated 50,000 won.]
-HaniHani: Soldier-nim, I’ve been a long-time fan, but how come you play Teemo when on my team and immediately play Fiora when on the enemy team? I got demoted to Diamond 2. Take responsibility!
-Huh? Is this real? Is this that BJ broadcasting on New Continent TV?
-ㅋ It was hilarious when she did the keyboard shotgun after getting demoted earlier, now the protagonist herself comes.
-Oh! I see Hani here. Amazing ㅋ
-What’s with the sudden fan talk ㅋ Is this Hani or whatever trying to leech off Soldier?
I flinched a bit at the sharp viewer at the end.
But I’m not in a position to be picky right now.
There’s no specially prepared content for a while, and the only topic was the League of Legends Master rank promotion challenge, so if I could do something with Soldier, a former pro gamer, it would be tremendously helpful.
“Ah… I apologize for that part. The situation unintentionally turned out that way. The mission just happened to be like that.”
-HaniHani: If you really think that way, please do just one light content with me! I’m a top lane sub, and I want to get a 1:1 lesson from Soldier-nim!
I begged with a cutesy voice that I don’t usually use.
He must have already confirmed my beauty(?) through the video donation, could he possibly refuse such a cute request?
“I’m sorry. I tend to avoid joint broadcasts.”
-HaniHani: ……
-ㅋ Did Hani just get rejected?
-Wow, Soldier is a real man. Respect respect. To be able to draw the line like this even after seeing that mid carry potential.
It’s embarrassing.
I even feel a bit of shame at the thought of being rejected in front of so many viewers.
But if I back down now, it’s a real defeat.
I gritted my teeth and made another proposal to Soldier with ‘sincerity’.
-HaniHani: Then let’s have a 1:1 match. If I win, let’s do a lesson broadcast.
-ㄷㄷ;; The real man was Hani. Look at her charging in without hesitation.
-Huh? Does a former pro look like an easy target? ㅋ A Diamond jungler is challenging.
-Well, there should be a penalty if you’re going to fight. Anyway, I think it’ll be interesting so I like it!
-Soldier-nim go go, show the wall of a pro.
Soldier hesitated for a moment, but the viewers’ reactions were so good that it was hard to ignore, and he accepted since he didn’t think there was any possibility of losing.
“Alright. Then how… shall we do it right away? And I think I should have some penalty. Do you have anything in mind?”
Since it’s a structure of Diamond vs former pro gamer, Soldier willingly suggested a penalty.
This is all flowing according to the expected scenario.
I secretly smile and set the date for the match.
Tomorrow, and it’s a single game!
The penalty was decided as me choosing Soldier’s champion.
Now, let’s properly ‘leech’ off a former pro gamer!

The reason for postponing the 1:1 match to the next day instead of doing it immediately was to draw attention and create buzz.
I informed Yoonjae and Yerin about what happened today and got help with promotion.
The two of them diligently spread the news on galleries and other sites using alternate accounts.
And we prepared the YouTube video to be edited and uploaded right away.
Since Soldier was a streamer who only worked on Twit TV and didn’t do YouTube, regardless of the outcome of this match, all the sweet fruits from the video would be mine.
‘This alone is enough compensation for enduring the embarrassment.’
Because everything happened so suddenly, I might not feel the weight of Soldier, but he was a member of a prestigious pro gaming team that won the World Series.
Over 10,000 of Soldier’s participation matches are searched worldwide on YouTube every day.
After the anti-feminist coin, there was enough probability for this to become a new vitality for my YouTube channel.
‘Of course, to be that successful, I need to win tomorrow’s match and be able to proceed with follow-up content…’
Given who the opponent is, it won’t be as easy as with Mia.
But I can’t miss such a good opportunity.
I prepare with all my might.
In that sense, I even accepted some sacrifice from the points I had been preciously gathering.
[Agile Control 3, Guillotine Match 4, Wide Field of View]
I invested 300 points to upgrade Agile Control to 3.
Points back down to the 2200 range.
But this is an investment for greater success.
Considering the effect of Guillotine Match 4, which gives Master-level specs in 1:1 situations, I shouldn’t be overwhelmed one-sidedly even against a former pro gamer.
Add the penalty on top of that…
‘It’s an opportunity that came by chance, but I won’t let it go easily. I’ve invested points… this is no joke!’
There’s not even 3 weeks left until Mia’s birthday.
The plan to give up on 100,000 YouTube subscribers and somehow gather 3,000 points to debut at a level of slightly pretty(?) among ordinary people… Now that it’s come to this, I’ll properly try to ‘leech’ once.

-Let’s go in! Let’s go in! Let’s go in!
-Is this the broadcast of the Diamond female BJ who challenged a former pro to a 1:1?
-But if she’s a jungler, not support, and reached Diamond 1 as a woman, isn’t she good?
-Teacher, how about considering your conscience while thinking about your tier that goes between Silver and Gold?
“Everyone, don’t fight. I will definitely avenge my tier demotion today!”
-ㅋ Still, it’s refreshing to see Soldier getting involved with someone, when he usually just grinds ranked games alone.
-Yeah; I think so too. Soldier’s been streaming for 2 years now, but he just keeps doing solo queue on broadcast. He’s good of course, but there’s no development in terms of broadcasting. Since he’s chosen this path, it would be nice if he did joint broadcasts sometimes and tried content other than League of Legends.
-Yes, Mr. Basement Unemployed! As expected of the famous parent backbone breaker, I see you’re not thinking about yourself and just giving advice to others.
-ㅋ The AoE damage is intense.
With the viewer count noticeably increased compared to usual, managing the chat is not easy.
If ‘Hani’s Uncle Fan’ and Yoonjae, who logged in later, hadn’t helped, it would have been difficult to focus on broadcasting.
“1, 1500 people… Wow, so many people are watching my broadcast today.”
It was a completely new record for an individual broadcast, not a joint one.
It was worth drawing attention with the broadcast title related to Soldier.
A viewer-related mission cleared after a long time.
I immediately spoke to Soldier, who was connected on Discord.
“Are you all prepared? My grudge for being demoted to Diamond 2 won’t be easy.”
“Alright. Then shall I create the room?”
“……”
Damn it! He’s a 2nd year broadcaster, even if not banter, he should at least engage in conversation, but he goes straight to the game?
My plan to create an entertaining broadcast and draw in lots of views hit a reef from the start.
But if you thought I’d give up because of this much, you’re greatly mistaken!
[If you make such dad jokes these days, you’ll get blocked right away.]
‘Shut up!’
What are the characteristics of content that attracts popularity?
The material? Of course it’s important.
For example, when one game becomes popular, you could say it’s a case where most YouTubers rush to play that game and upload videos.
Like Battle Space or Among Us.
But even when videos with the same material are uploaded, the views and viewers’ reactions vary.
The game skills of the broadcaster who uploaded the video, there are many important factors, but I want to pick this as the core.
It’s ‘story’.
Videos of someone playing well just end with playing well.
You might get some complimentary comments from viewers regarding game skills.
But videos with a story have a different degree of reaction.
Viewers will be drawn in not just by the game used as material, but by the ‘story’, immersing themselves more in the video, empathizing, and reacting sincerely.
‘I prepared in advance. The video will probably be uploaded in about an hour.’
I got permission from Soldier in advance.
An edited version of the events leading up to my demotion yesterday, including the reason for the 1:1 match.
Teemo, Teemo… and Fiora, one story leading up to this.
And now I’m about to make one choice to complete that story.
“The champion Soldier-nim will pick for this match is…”
-He’ll probably make him play something sneaky like Yuumi
-Nah, that’s too much. Hani’s not a newbie, she has broadcasting sense so she won’t do that.
-Yuumi crosses the line, but if she wants to win, won’t she give him a support champion like Janna? Something like Nami or Soraka.
The chat window was filled with various speculations from viewers.
Betraying their expectations, I uttered the name of the champion that had become a symbol of ‘hatred’ over the past day.
“Teemo! The champion Soldier-nim will play is Teemo.”
“……”
-ㅋ Cruel girl, cruel girl, cruel girl!
-The grudge against Teemo comes this far? The grudge against Teemo comes this far? The grudge against Teemo comes this far?
-A woman who’s more serious about Teemo vengeance than anyone ㄷㄷ;;
The story is prepared.
Now I’ll just do my best to complete it.
