Chapter 29: The Secret Coach and the Next Step.

While the relationship with my employer has been followed by a lord-vassal relationship and even a master-disciple relationship, my daily life has not changed significantly since then.

I had stopped living a life dedicated to work all day long since the YouTube channel was officially converted.

I did not have to set aside separate time for the newly created task of Yu Sieun’s feedback.

The only thing that changed was that what I did in my spare time changed from raising the score of the smurf account, the account where I ate the nickname EunSiyu, to raising the score of the real EunSiyu.

As it was the tournament period, Yu Sieun had greatly reduced the frequency of playing solo rank on the broadcast.

Although the nuance contained in the sentence is bad, this was a good situation for both Yu Sieun’s team and Yu Sieun.

What made this possible was thanks to a person who is Bronze in the canyon but is Challenger in the Internet broadcasting world.

Team leader Crinex was a person who was very good at bringing in scrims even before the team was confirmed.

There was no situation where we couldn’t have practice matches because there was no opponent while the broadcast was on.

In addition, since the important process of feedback after the match had to be gone through, she didn’t have time to play solo rank on the broadcast.

Instead, Yu Sieun tended to play ranked games after the broadcast ended.

A few viewers who saw that the match history of the EunSiyuSieun account always appeared after the broadcast was turned off sent a sincere request saying, “If you’re going to rank after turning off the broadcast, just extend the broadcast time and do the rank game and turn it off,” but Yu Sieun responded to that by saying that she wanted to turn back on what she had learned during the day and play solo rank in a fully concentrated state.

It was a word that would not have won the viewers’ hearts if the results of the ranked game conducted without turning on the broadcast were not good.

But the score of the account with the nickname EunSiyuSieun had stepped into the 300s in about a week, making the many games she had spun while wandering the section between Master 0 points and 100 points pale.

That was why I could continue the secret meeting with Yu Sieun, Yu Sieun, who has turned off the broadcast now.

Yu Sieun shares her screen through Discord and turns on a personal broadcast that only I can see, and in that state, she proceeds with solo rank.

I watch that screen and give Yu Sieun instant feedback on her play, and record the times for parts that need to be entered in detail and explain them after the game is over.

That was the way that the private lessons between me and Yu Sieun had been conducted for the past week.

I don’t know how the ranked game play agreement of LoL – Legacy of Legend is responding to this act.

A LoL partner streamer has uploaded to YouTube with the content of doing the same thing while watching a viewer play a ranked game with the broadcast on, so it was definitely not an act that is a big problem.

Well, even if it was a big problem, it didn’t matter since I and Yu Sieun had the thought that we would never be caught anyway.

For now, there was obviously no problem at all in the progress of the past week.

Rather, only good things were happening to me and Yu Sieun.

In the case of Yu Sieun, who has been updating the top rating in her life far away, there has always been a smile on her face recently, and that confidence is achieving a virtuous cycle that is reflected in the results of scrims and solo rank again.

I was feeling the same emotion since Yu Sieun was happy too.

Even today, when the team member list was submitted and the participating members were confirmed, Yu Sieun was proceeding with solo rank with me after the broadcast was turned off.

On Yu Sieun’s monitor, which I am watching through screen sharing, a victory mark created as the opponent’s base was broken was floating.

Today’s result was 3 consecutive wins.

Yu Sieun, who stepped into the late 300s thanks to the MMR that had risen due to the recent destructive winning streak, spat out a little regret rather than cheering now that the game was over.

“Ah… I feel like it could have been a little cleaner. It was just good if I won in the old days, but since I keep going up like this and seeing myself getting better, I get greedy.”

“…I also get greedy, unnie. To be honest, it was also right that I thought you would be good if you learned, and when I first gave you feedback at that time, I said that you could easily raise 300 points… but that wasn’t just in one week.”

“I feel like a blood vessel has been unblocked recently. Thank you so much, really.”

“What. More than that, the team members have been confirmed now too.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Do you have any teams you’re wary of, unnie?”

“Hmm… If you’re talking about teams I’m wary of, a few teams come to mind. After all, it’s a little difficult for teams that are composed with a well-performing 2 Challenger base like us.

What should I say… It’s even more so for teams that have people whose scores are cost-effective to a fraudulent level. But we have a good win rate even against those teams.”

“First of all, you’re already at the level of a fraudulent person.

If it wasn’t for the number of games you played while being stuck without going over 100 points in this season, you would have definitely heard something about it.”

“I’ve been seeing that kind of story in the chat window these days.

How could the eternal Master gatekeeper suddenly do that… Ahem. Anyway, that I’m suddenly good. I want to say that it’s thanks to our Eunsol whenever that happens.”

“Well, you can say it if there are people who ask while putting in a lot of donations or something.

Wouldn’t it be an honor for me? Then I should pull some clickbait with the video title.”

Yu Sieun, who was shedding a light smile at my words, went to bed after receiving simple feedback on the game she had just played.

That was the next day.

The certified EunSiyu official YouTube professional editor Ha Eunsol, who had completely become exclusive to EunSiyu and had now reached the point where the contents of yesterday’s broadcast and how to make it into a video came to mind as soon as she opened her eyes, that is, I, was in a state where I had carried out the usual schedule of completing the confirmation of the video containing yesterday’s broadcast and setting up a scheduled upload before the broadcast started.

I was waiting for EunSiyu’s broadcast to turn on as always.

The moment I was waiting for soon came.

And it flowed as usual.

The broadcast starts, Yu Sieun briefly communicates, Yu Sieun joins the voice chat with her teammates, and the scrim proceeds when it’s the appointed time with the other team.

After finishing the feedback on that, they proceed with the scrim with the other team once more, and then give feedback again and end the broadcast.

It was a summary of the broadcasts that Yu Sieun had been showing for the past week.

The content of today’s broadcast was also almost the same.

But in today’s case, I felt that the atmosphere had changed a little from the broadcasts of the past week when I looked back on what I had seen today now that the broadcast was over.

The sincerity had no choice but to be a little faint even if they were scrimming during the past week, when the team was constantly changing.

Although there were no member changes from beginning to end in the case of the team that EunSiyu belonged to, the team members were often changing quite a bit in the case of other teams, like the structure that usually comes out in LoL-TCup.

Even if they get good results in the scrim, it’s hard to be perfectly sure that the team is stronger than other teams.

But it was different from today.

The composition of all teams will not change now.

Raising the skills of all the people who are in their team and matching the combinations better was the task that all teams had to do until the preliminary round began.

The sincerity that has been saved because they didn’t know who to team up with until now will all begin to be unleashed from today.

Like the past few days, Yu Sieun called me a little time after the broadcast ended.

Yu Sieun, who had been praised by the two Challenger players on the same team during the feedback after the scrim today for her rapid skill improvement, was in a state where she had executed what she had been permitted to do in the conversation with me yesterday.

If I recall the memory,

[Sieun-nim, you’re really good. Did you have anything recently? It’s not at the level that can be done with just one realization.]

[Hehe. Actually, the person who is editing our YouTube has been helping me. They’re giving me very meticulous feedback, so it’s been a great help.]

[Wow, really?]

That was the kind of conversation that had been going on in the team, which can be summarized as.

To ordinary people, it was a material that could be used for the video title or thumbnail clickbait, but to me, it was a conversation that became a stepping stone to execute what I had suddenly realized while watching today’s broadcast.

There are several ways to improve the team’s skills, and the difficulty of each plan is all different.

Let’s think of the case of a test taker.

It is dozens of times easier to raise the score of a student with 30 points to 50 points than to make a student with 96 points have the skill to receive 100 points.

In the case of the two Challengers, it is now difficult to raise their skills any further, and it is far beyond the range of what I can do.

Yu Sieun, who is showing explosive growth now, was also gradually decreasing the things I had to give feedback on.

The growth will continue, but it is impossible to raise hundreds of points more with the time remaining until the preliminary round.

You can’t raise the score of a 100-point student, and it’s also hard to improve the skills of a student who just got from 92 points to 96 points any further within the remaining week.

Therefore, the most cost-effective thing to improve the team’s power was to touch the remaining two of the team members.

After organizing all those thoughts, the place where my gaze was directed was ‘Hayan’, the Silver Mid laner of the EunSiyu team.

The support side was being customized by the AD Carry to her taste, so I had nothing to do.

If it was me a week ago, it would have been impossible to reach out to streamer Hayan like I was giving feedback to Yu Sieun.

There was no point of contact at all.

Also, no situation had occurred that could become a connection.

But it was a little different from today.

Yu Sieun had said that her rapid skill improvement was thanks to the editor, and streamer Hayan had reacted with surprise to that. And that went on the broadcast.

There was a connection and justification to conduct coaching, even if briefly.

Now that the high-tier broadcasters are all in the team or have a full schedule, there is no one who can give precise feedback that goes beyond one-time show-off coaching.

Raising the Silver Mid was the most cost-effective thing that the EunSiyu team could do to approach the championship right now.

After organizing all those thoughts, I conveyed my opinion to Yu Sieun, who was on the phone with me.

Yu Sieun was silent for a long time after hearing my words.

‘…Eunsol.’

When Yu Sieun opened her mouth again, there was a little stickiness mixed in Yu Sieun’s voice, which had always been full of laughter for the past week.
