Chapter 26: Refining Instincts: A Late-Night Analysis.

Senses develop according to accumulated experience.

The reason I was able to predict that Yu Sieun would call me now was because this had been happening quite often recently.

Yu Sieun, who drank with me at my house a while ago and even slept over, had often been calling me after the broadcast ended since then.

She would send me the data recording the parts to be made into a video from that day’s broadcast and talk about it briefly, or when she had a concern or something to think about, she would talk about it with me.

Being able to share concerns and talk about them is usually only possible with a friend who will be together for a long time in the future.

‘….’

It is rare for a broadcaster to have such a close video editor, and it is not a relationship that is viewed very well.

Being bound by friendship and employment at the same time causes many problems that you could not imagine.

But now I was not going to do the frustrating male lead in the novel who would create a distance from Yu Sieun, citing that as a reason.

‘…Hehe.’

I was so happy that a smile was blooming just by hearing the sound that alerted me that a phone call was coming, so there was no way I could do such a thing.

Being able to smile like this now that I’m receiving a work call from my boss seems like a very bizarre situation to many workers, but Yu Sieun was not a pot-bellied manager who calls in a drunken state past midnight, but my lovely favorite employer.

I counted down a few seconds in my head, moved the mouse cursor to the call receive button, and clicked it.

“Hello?”

“Ah, Eunsol. Hi. It’s nothing, but I thought there was one thing I should tell you.

I can do it by message… but I just called to hear your voice too.”

Yu Sieun’s voice had the seriousness that she has when she is thinking deeply about something.

“Today’s broadcast should be made into a video with the team composition and two scrim games… I think it’s going to be a little late because I didn’t record it separately today since I was in a game.

I’ll send it to you by the time you wake up tomorrow, but I’m calling to tell you because I remember you always checked it in the early morning.”

“Ah… If it’s about that, it’s okay.”

“Huh?”

“You know I watch all of unnie’s broadcasts anyway, right? I’ve already picked out the parts to put in the video while watching it today too.

A little more meticulously than usual since it’s during the tournament too.

You don’t have to organize it separately until LoL-TCup is over.

The video concept will continue to be structured in a way that summarizes the interesting parts while preparing for the tournament, so the video will be the same whether unnie picks it or I pick it.”

“……I see. Thank you. Eunsol, you’re really meticulous. I knew it when I went to your house before and saw what you had done, but you’re still very girly.”

“I’ll take it as a compliment. Then until the tournament is over, shall I take charge of the YouTube side unless unnie gives separate guidelines?”

“Yeah. I think that would be good. Haa…….”

In fact, I thought Yu Sieun would talk about the story during the practice match when she first called me.

The premonition that a phone call would come also came from the feeling that Yu Sieun seemed to be hiding the atmosphere when she had a lot of thoughts after the second game was over.

If it was Yu Sieun, the pretty girl who is sincere about LoL that I know, I thought she would have felt a great regret in the second game of the first scrim.

But since it was a story about the video, which was different from what I had expected, I started to build up to tell Yu Sieun that I could end the call. I had to send her to bed soon so that I could see Yu Sieun in good condition tomorrow.

“What. You’re going to sleep now, right?”

It was when I had just said one word that Yu Sieun took out the thought that I had just thought, “I guess not.”

“I have to sleep…. but I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep until a little late today.

I’m going to watch the games I played today for a long time. I was going to do it while reviewing the point of editing that I was going to give you, but since you said you did it separately… I won’t do it in this area.”

She was speaking calmly, but there was regret in Yu Sieun’s voice.

“Are you talking about today’s scrim?”

“Yeah. I’m feeling a little, what should I say, very regretful right now.

I felt something from the person in charge of the AD Carry on the opposing team today.

Was it a week ago? At that time, I was talking with you and said in a joking tone that I should raise my skills after the LoL-TCup scores came out, right?

But after doing two scrim games today, I realized that I should think about that story a little more seriously.

I think I should focus on this side until LoL-TCup is over.

First of all, I’m going to review today’s game by myself now… I’m thinking of checking the ambiguous parts by asking the team members or other people around tomorrow.”

“Sieun unnie. If you’re going to watch the replay now, would you like to watch it with me?”

“Together? You’re not going to sleep, Eunsol?”

“I don’t sleep right after unnie’s broadcast even usually anyway.

And wouldn’t it be a little better to do it while talking together than doing it alone? If you explain it to other people, it will be a little easier to see.”

“Well… if that’s the case. I’ll show you the screen on Discord.”

Yu Sieun did not intend to refuse my suggestion and executed screen sharing while still in the call room.

While Game 1 and Game 2 were flowing in order on the screen, Yu Sieun stopped the playback at the points where she felt she had to think about and looked back on her own about what action was good.

I was on the side that was just listening to it.

I listened to Yu Sieun’s story, sometimes cheering her on, or asking questions a few times so that Yu Sieun could look back at the parts she was thinking shallowly about.

When Yu Sieun’s own review was over like that, she seemed to have realized what she was regretting.

“Something… I’m doing it a little hastily. You could say I’m overdoing it.”

Yu Sieun calmly said the problem that the player with the nickname EunSiyuSieun on the screen had.

It was a similar realization to what I had felt while watching Yu Sieun’s play for the past few months.

But Yu Sieun couldn’t easily figure out how to improve the problem that the realization was showing.

Realizing what is wrong and being able to fix it in the next game is a different matter.

Yu Sieun’s ranking is in the top 0.1% of all users.

In any field, for those who are at such a high level, the range of things they can do on their own to go higher is extremely narrow.

The reason is simple.

The higher you go, the more the skills are divided in parts that are trivial and where personal opinions may differ.

Delicately modifying the senses that have been built up through development so far is not an easy task.

Yu Sieun is watching the replay now, looking at the replay with a view to feeling her own fault and finding the wrong part, and saying that her play earlier was reckless.

But the highly developed senses of a Master AD Carry will once again draw the judgment that it is the right play in the moment when a similar situation comes out in the next game.

Momentary and fast judgment is the realm of intuition, and intuition and senses are abilities that are related to experience and talent that have been done so far, not reason.

The aggressiveness that is said to be reckless now came from the totality of the abilities that the player EunSiyu has that allows her to be in the Master tier.

It is impossible for a person who has become a master by learning second-rate martial arts to look forward to the next realm.

The foundation is different. What has allowed you to come up to that realm ironically becomes the shackle that prevents you from looking forward to the next realm.

In the case of LoL, it is not impossible to change the foundation.

But it is the same that you have to change many things for a little improvement.

Therefore, the feedback given to these top-tier players at this level can only go into trivial parts to the point where you might think, “Why are you even talking about this?”

Things that a person who is a little higher can only say, “I think this way, and I can see this, but what about you?”

Of course, it will not have much effect until the number of times accumulates, but the effect that appears when the delicate parts of judgment start to look at the direction of making the most of the advantages of the original senses if they are corrected with a long time and many times is very great.

I had been watching Yu Sieun for a long time, and I could tell her for a long time from now on if Yu Sieun only wanted to.

The thoughts I had before are felt as they are.

I thought I would be able to help Yu Sieun.

When Yu Sieun was immersed in thought in silence after reviewing the replay and finishing the review herself, I had that thought and brought up the topic.

“Sieun unnie. There’s something I felt while watching you review just now… Would you like to hear what I have to say?”
