Chapter 35: Unintended Spotlight: The Rise of Sol-eun.

The Legacy of Legend match with my friends ended harmoniously.

I don’t know well about the situation of the opposing team who had been defeated with 3 consecutive losses, but for our team, at least.

Fortunately, there was no event where the losing side complained when we gathered in the voice chat channel again.

We parted with the opposing team after greeting them cleanly, and our team, who had briefly shared a story about today’s game after moving the call room to another Discord server, also disbanded soon.

‘Haa…….’

The match I had after a long time was not a bad experience.

It’s not that the game itself was tremendously fun, but you could say I felt the taste of playing the game as a jungler because other friends kept praising me for being tremendously good.

If you ask me if I’ll do it again, it doesn’t seem like I’m drawn to it for some reason, but I felt quite good right now.

It was when I had put a glass and filled it with water to wash away the afterglow that the three matches I had just played had left and returned to my desk that I saw the call request mark floating on the monitor.

EunSiyu.

When I saw the Discord nickname of the person who was calling me, which was floating on the screen, I was forcibly pulled out of my self-hypnosis.

Reality rushed in through the walls of the broken hypnosis.

The memories of the games that contained the three matches until just now had their meaning completely reversed when I witnessed the truth.

“…Oh.”

It seemed that I had just finished playing the role of the streamer’s substitute.

Not in a match with friends, but in a practice match that tens of thousands of people were watching.

Trembling with fear after facing the truth, I picked up the glass I had brought and sipped the water.

After recognizing the reality, I felt like I was going to be cranky at Yu Sieun, but that was obviously not to the extent that I would ignore the incoming phone call.

After pressing the receive button, I first asked Yu Sieun a question.

“…Unnie. Did you turn off the broadcast?”

“Yeah. Just now. Eunsol, thank you so much today…. You did so well. Both in the game and on the broadcast!”

Yu Sieun began to shower me with praise for today’s work.

It was an action that made the feeling I had in my heart a little stronger.

There’s a saying that you can’t spit on a smiling face, but that often deviates from reality in my view.

There is a tendency for a person who is cranky to act even more severely if there is a person who is laughing cheerfully, thinking that they are someone who will accept even if I act cranky.

That’s what I was doing now.

I was even acting cranky by lowering my voice and calling my employer.

“……Unnie.”

“Uh, um…?”

Whether what my voice contained was conveyed through the microphone, Yu Sieun showed a slightly embarrassed appearance.

As I maintained silence in that state, Yu Sieun began to speak with a cute voice as if she was soothing a sulking lover.

“It was too sudden for you, Eunsol, right…? I guess I forgot what the feeling of standing in front of people for the first time was since I’ve been broadcasting continuously…. I’m sorry.”

“I was really nervous at first….”

“Yeah. I’m sorry, Eunsol. I think I was only thinking of my side at that time.

There’s no one, and I’m not going to bring a viewer, it’s too bad… You were the only person who came to mind. Still, I should have sent you a separate message instead of saying it on the broadcast first, I thought wrong at that time…… Can you forgive me?”

Forgiveness.

In fact, the grumbling that had been blooming had disappeared without a trace when I heard Yu Sieun’s first words.

Even if I only heard that voice without visual stimulation, the anger would be washed away without leaving a trace, and I was a person who even knew what appearance and heart Yu Sieun had, so.

“Still, it’s okay because the result was good. I also have a story I told unnie, and…. Even so, it was a little much to have my voice come out in front of 60,000 people instead of EunSiyu’s broadcast….”

“Yeah. You did really, really well, Eunsol. I thought you could be on the broadcast right away? Let’s do it separately on my broadcast later…!”

“Yes?”

The ending is strange.

I gently unraveled the sentence, “What do you mean by that, Sieun unnie?” and conveyed it to Yu Sieun.

Yu Sieun laughed emptily, “Hehe,” and then took out another story.

It was a story about the video that would be uploaded containing the contents of today’s scrim.

It was certain that a conversation was necessary.

It was material that I had to work on right after waking up, but in today’s case, both me and Yu Sieun didn’t have the data that had been created for video production since we had been playing the game.

I roughly conceived the contents to be included in the video while turning back on today’s broadcast with Yu Sieun and then ended the call.

And I realized at that time.

That she covered up the fact that she had turned the topic to work.

Is this the conversation ability that Internet broadcasters have? I thought.

EunSiyu YouTube is operated with the method of uploading the video that was created right away the day after if the content of the broadcast that was conducted that day is enough to compose one video.

The 5-game 3-win scrim belonged to the material that was more than enough.

A video editor who was stuck in the streamer match was a material that was enough to bring out the curiosity of what the heck that situation was like to the people who roam YouTube to find a video worth watching. Regardless of my feelings at that time.

There was no reason for me and Yu Sieun to let go of such video material.

I had uploaded the video that I had finished editing to YouTube the next day after the scrim had proceeded. With a title that could pull clickbait.

This video was riding the algorithm of people who had subscribed to the YouTube channels of Treech broadcasters, and the views were soaring quite quickly.

It was at the level where I could confirm the effect just one day later.

It was a positive effect on EunSiyu YouTube. The number of subscribers, which was originally increasing every day, was increasing as if an advertisement had been put up somewhere since yesterday’s video was uploaded.

However, the effect of the video, which would have been up to that point originally, was reaching me this time.

The person named Sol-eun had now become the most famous YouTube editor on Treech.

I was the most mentioned person in the Internet broadcasting community among people who were not broadcasters yesterday and today. Surpassing even a few politicians.

I didn’t think that was a negative thing.

The feeling of the gazes that people were sending me was closer to liking, and that benefit was now directly it continues to EunSiyu YouTube.

‘Hmm….?’

But now that I look at the comments on the video, I was a little worried about the future.

There were many opinions that wanted content accompanied by the editor Sol-eun.

The most mentioned was a companion Q&A, and there were also some opinions that they wanted me to appear as a guest in a 2-person game.

Even when it was known that I was acting as a coach for the two, Yu Sieun and Hayan, due to their mention before, there were a few similar requests at that time, but if it was the level of a few people shouting at that time, it was almost a flow now.

The words that Yu Sieun had said last, before turning the topic of conversation on the day the scrim was conducted, “Let’s do it on our broadcast next time?” might have been predicting the current situation.

‘Haa….’

The channel currently has about 92,000 subscribers.

It is a situation where I am receiving attention.

It was a situation where I could easily achieve 100,000 subscribers if I released one good content while continuing the flow after LoL-TCup was over.

In the current situation, there was a high possibility that the good content would probably include me.

I would have to talk with Yu Sieun about this after the LoL-TCup preliminaries and finals, which will continue from tomorrow, are over.

What’s immediately in front of me for now is the preliminary.

The LoL-TCup preliminaries are a process to select 8 teams to go to the finals among the 12 teams that participated in the tournament.

It is a method of dividing 3 teams into one group at random and playing a league match, and one team from each group is eliminated depending on the result.

I was not worried about Team EunSiyu’s elimination from the preliminaries.

The reason why I had naturally thought of the point in time to conduct the discussion with Yu Sieun after the finals was over was because of this.

Team EunSiyu was a strong team.

Even though one Challenger who had matched the combination had left and I had entered, it was to the extent that we could beat the place that was being evaluated as a pretty good team.

If the original owner of the seat entered instead of me, that power would obviously become stronger.

There might be variables if we go to the knockout tournament in the finals, but it was not the power to be eliminated from the preliminaries.

There is a high probability that we will go up cleanly with 2 wins.

It was an environment where I could watch the game comfortably as a fan.

Wouldn’t it be good to buy and eat chicken or something while watching the game tomorrow?

There is also alcohol that I didn’t finish drinking when Yu Sieun came to visit last time in the refrigerator, so it would be good to add it too.
