Chapter 21: Until Debut

I did reach Challenger, but that didn’t mean I abruptly stopped streaming.

“It’s been a while.”

[—You’re coming on so suddenly like this?]
[—?????]
[—Damn]
[—It’s fine since you’re here…]
[—It’s been too cold and chilly until now, True]
[—Streaming after a week…]
[—But if you look at her match history, she’s been playing solo queue]
[—lololol]
[—Ah lol She’s a professional gamer]
[—Just doing her job~]
[—lololol]

Anyway, all the work related to the ST contract was done, and I didn’t need to hold back on what I said in case there was something that shouldn’t be revealed yet on stream.

“You can ask me anything you want to ask me today.”

[—You started this, okay?]
[—sigh Get ready]
[—Throwing bait to the viewers full of spite is GOAT as expected]
[—lololol]
[—[This comment has been blocked]]
[—[This comment has been blocked]]
[—Eek]
[—Save me]

“Everyone, you have to read the context to be human. You know?”

I already knew what kind of chat would pop up, so I quickly cleaned up the chat.

Maybe it’s because my senses have become sharper these days, it was easier than before to find strange people in the fluttering chat.

“I’ll only accept questions through donations.”

Well, I can’t help it.

It’s the minimum measure for a normal Q&A.

[—My Small True has fallen]
[—She’s become a money-grubber]
[—She’s not small and hasn’t fallen]
[—sigh She even opened up 1,000 won donations, if you curses or insults those, aren’t you just broke unemployed people?]
[—If you’re a home-guard who got hit by splash damage, give me a like]
[—And True probably earns more money than you guys]
[—lololol]
[—Dinner crew crying hard]

[donated 1,000 won ]
As the chat calmed down, questions started to pour in.

“Fraud? I’ve met him.”

[—Damn]
[—Successful in meeting Godㄷㄷㄷ]
[—She’s become a successful fan]
[—It’s a night that reminds me of True explaining in detail with Fraud’s autographed uniform when asked which team’s fan she was…]
[—That was only two months ago]
[—?]
[—It is]
[—Her growth rate is really crazy]
[—The common Silvers are now Challengers…]
[—Not just any Challenger]
[—‘ST3 starting mid laner’]
[—Damn]
[—Did you faint after meeting God?]

“Everyone was so kind that I didn’t even have time to be nervous.”

And it felt like I was coming home, so there was nothing difficult about it.

[sponsored. ]
[—Did she go and film a video too?]
[—She did a lot of things even before her 3rd division debut]
[—With that appearance, it’s impossible not to be a hot topic]
[—It’s the middle of the season, so even 1st division videos aren’t uploaded often, so it’s great]
[—Let’s all watch it together?]
[—Please… ]
[—Tell us one scene at a time]
[—Since she said to ask her anything, there must be something more]
[—lololol]

At the viewers’ protests, I opened an internet window as if I couldn’t help it.

[—Her entire YouTube algorithm is LOCK]
[—lololol]
[—No wonder she’s a pro]
[—Just a LOCK maniac]
[—Is True single?]
[—With that appearance?]
[—She’s a middle schooler, so she could be]
[—Do you think so lol]

“I am single.”

Whether in my past or present life, I became a professional gamer who constantly played games, and I didn’t have much time to meet people because I would rather play alone in my spare time.

My usual schedule itself was far from that of ordinary people, and above all, my first priority was always LOCK.

[—Damn]
[—Normalization immediately]
[—I was trusting you]
[—Great True]
[—Let’s just play with the viewers forever…]

By the way, it seemed like the viewers had gone a little crazy since it had been a while.

“If you keep doing that, I’ll see how many of you come to my ST3 debut match.”

My average number of viewers is currently around 2,000.

The Grand League and Master League are held in a space with a capacity of just over 500 people—all neutral seats—so if those mischievous viewers are obsessed, there should be a shortage of seats.

[—You don’t think we can do it?]
[—lololol]
[—Why is that one chat so scary]
[—‘Serious mode’]
[—The competition for Master League tickets will surpass LOCK…]
[—Scary!]
[—I don’t know about anything else, but please wash up first]
[—lololol]

Anyway, while talking about various things with the viewers, I was able to find my video without difficulty.

My face was plastered on the thumbnail of ST’s new video.

[—lololol]
[—The guy who told her this first is malicious]
[—The real malicious one is the editor]
[—If you want to go to the ST building right now and beat up the editor, give me a like]
[—The editor is laughing right now…]
[—lololol]
[—She asked for it herself, but she probably didn’t expect this much attention lol]

“That’s not true!”

No, the image of me wearing makeup was definitely there, but everything else was strange.

Whether Fraud’s re-signing season was approaching or not, ST was eager to get views.

[—So you’re not going to watch it?]
[—You’re not going to watch this? ]
[—I Lock]
[—You have no sense]
[—Quickly overcome your embarrassment and watch the video…!]

“I said I would accept any questions, but I never said I would watch that.”

[—Then please explain what happened in the video from 00:00 to the end]
[—lololol]
[—You thought you were the only one who could backdoor?]
[—True’s viewers’ average lol]

“Then in return, you’re not allowed to tease me no matter what scene comes out, okay?”

[—Okay okay okay]
[—I won’t tease you at all]
[—I really won’t tease you]
[—The viewers just turned it on, so they don’t know well anyway, it’s okay]
[—Honestly, it’s much better to watch it with True while listening to the situation explanation]
[—lololol]

I clicked on the video, trusting the untrustworthy people.

The editing staff didn’t have a structure to get permission from me separately, so I was personally curious about it.

The first video was of me entering the ST building and signing.

“That’s staged. I finished signing before filming that.”

[—Throw away the romance?]
[—You should just let this kind of thing go]

So I lightly trampled on the viewers’ innocence once, and moved on to the next scene.

This time, it wasn’t a real video, but a video of my gameplay.

To be precise, it’s what you call a mad movie.

[—Damn]
[—This is it.]
[—As expected, if you’re a professional gamer, you have to speak with the game.]
[—It’s amazing even if I watch it again]
[—How did she win lol]

“It must have been hard to find that video, the editors must have worked really hard.”

[—It’s okay, highlight clips are all spread by Shorts anyway]
[—lololol]
[—If you’re guys who will spread it more enthusiastically in the future, give me a like]
[—Ah lol Can’t resist a professional gamer’s mad movie]

The viewers seem to be satisfied, perhaps because they remember the old days.

“Hmm…should I open my official YouTube channel later?”

[—GoGoGoGoGo]
[—It’s likely to surpass the number of subscribers of a moderate team’s YouTube channel]
[—Undeniable]
[— Yes]
[—Honestly, I think it’s possible up to 200,000]
[—It might be more if she debuts]
[—lololol]

I’ll have to mention it later when I’m clearly established in the team.

Anyway, the scenes after the mad movie continued smoothly.

[—WowWowWowWow]
[—So you’re saying that True, who is full of decadent beauty, wore that makeup and took a picture there?]
[—Decadent beauty X Messy O]
[—Wash up]
[—lololol]
[—But even if she doesn’t wash up, she’s on par with a moderate celebrity]
[—Her face isn’t shining, it’s just that her face is the light itself]
[—I, I…think it’s a waste to be a professional gamer with that…face…]
[—What do you mean, viewer ]
[—True)Yes]
[—True) Yes]

Everyone was excited about the makeup scene and the subsequent concept shots and player registration photos, but it was nothing compared to the following scenes.

[ST3’s top laner, Fluke, has a strange connection with True, as they are in the same middle school and the same class!]

[—You said you were single]
[—I think I’m going to turn black]
[—Uh uh, why is this guy like this]
[—My horn hurts…]
[—I can hear the unicorns dying]
[—lololol]
[—With that appearance, would she be single<—A sage himself]
[—Ah…I didn’t know]

“I already beat Fluke in mid? I don’t deal with guys weaker than me.”

[—?lol]
[—Fluke suddenly got rejected without even confessing once]
[—Unicorn horn bonding is Great True as expected]
[—Speaking of which, Fluke changed his position from mid to top and reached Challenger]
[—?? : I don’t deal with guys weaker than me]
[—Fluke’s reason for changing positions is officially revealed?]
[—Just a true LOCK maniac…]
[—No sigh But what’s with that middle school]
[—There are two middle school Challengers in one grade in one school?]
[—If a LOCK school competition is held, the nearby schools will be mourning]
[—They’ll just be mourning]
[—lololol]
[—Especially top and mid, there’s no answer]

There was a bit of a commotion, but I didn’t bother to respond much.

Anyway, the video just showed that much and moved on, and above all, the impact of the next scene was enough to make my human relationships trivial.

[Now, here comes today’s special guest—?]

With the viewers’ chat exploding a beat earlier, a familiar face appeared on my screen as well.

[The legend of LOC, LOC itself, and the current mid laner of ST1, Fraud!]

[—????????]
[—No, why are you here]
[—Why are you really here]
[—Chat normalization is GOAT average as expected]
[—It’s understandable if a middle school girl with that face joins the team]
[—lololol]
[—Uh uh, no]
[—Isn’t True lucky to have Fraud?]
[—lololol]
[—Argh]

“Stop talking nonsense and keep watching the video.”

[—Whoa]
[—I just saw my solo queue]
[—Ugh]
[—That…what was it that I shouldn’t remember?]
[—lololol]
[—LOCK boomer average who’s afraid to mention it because he might get banned]
[—lololol]

It was certainly convenient that they listened well once I showed them my temper.

Anyway, the video continued to flow.

A brief interview, followed by Fraud’s shoutout to me.

And as a highlight, a video of our one-on-one.

[—Ah]
[—He goes in at that moment]
[—As expected of Fraud…]
[—Disciplining the new recruit GOAT]
[—She died in attention stance after the charm mind game…]
[—Still, it was pretty close until the end]
[—He must have gone easy on her]
[—I don’t think he went easy on her that much]
[—If you’re below Master, shut up, anyone can see that he went easy on her]
[—Yeah, I’m Grandmaster]
[—Everyone and their dog is Grandmaster sigh]

“Can those below Challenger shut up?”

With my one sentence, the chat froze.

It’s not that the viewers listened well, I just froze it arbitrarily.

Whether you’re a Challenger or a Bronze, follow my control.

Honestly, no matter how many Challengers come, I win the concept explanation, so my word is the answer.

“From now on, I’m going to explain the details of the video, is there anyone who’s going to say something strange?”

Of course, there was no answer.

I paused for a moment and then unfroze the chat function of the room.

[—Wow, you both did so well]
[—It’s a battle of the strong]
[—True is good]
[—The mind game is amazing]
[—I agree]

“Don’t pretend you understand the laning phase, and just watch from here.”

Like that, I explained every moment for over thirty minutes.

[—Please…]
[—I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry]
[—Please stop]
[—Can’t we just go back to 1 minute and just appreciate the face?]
[—The LOCK I know wasn’t even a game…]
[—Please stop… ]
[—Noona, I’m sorry]

Of course, I didn’t stop.

As the number of viewers, which had been steadily increasing due to the attention, gradually decreased, and only the number of people who always watched solo queue remained, I finished the commentary.

“So, here at the end, Fraud suddenly engaged, and we both used Flash, but my reaction, which wasn’t in first-person, was slower, and I, who wasted my skills, died.”

[—Damn]
[—I don’t know what it is, but if it’s cool, give me a like]
[—(A picture of clapping hard)]
[—The filter for the guys who came in to see her face is solid]
[—lololol]
[—Please remain as a skill stream forever…]

So the video was almost at an end, and the video ended with encouraging words from Fraud and Coach Ahn Jaehoon.

And at the end of it.

[ ST True Master League debut scheduled ]

It was my scheduled debut date.

“Don’t forget that you all promised to come, okay?”

I’ll show you any number of plays that will make you cheer, so I just need the audience to shout out that cheer.
