Chapter 6 - League of Legends (2)
Bang, bang-!
“Eek! Why are you only targeting me? This is too much!”
-Is there a Xerath who mindlessly takes a forward position without thinking when it’s obvious that Nocturne’s pathing is towards bottom?
-1/6/2 Xerath… this is rare.
-Stop intentional trolling!
A screen tinged gray and the sound of keyboard smashing that stimulates the ears.
The chat is usually full of mockery, but today it’s even worse.
-I heard the enemy team’s Nocturne is also a BJ, but the skill difference seems quite severe.
-Ah, how can you compare a Hyeji who got carried in duo queue with a solo queue jungler.
-Just type ㄹㅇㅋㅋ (really lol).
-Is this game originally in grayscale? It’s uncomfortable because I can’t see well.
“Hey! How is this my fault? The ADC should manage the lane. When Jhin is pushing the lane, what am I supposed to do!”
-Tsk tsk tsk, that’s why you’re called a ‘tool’ for leaving everything to the ADC, teacher.
-Ma! If I were the support, I would’ve spammed back pings at the ADC harshly.
-Couldn’t you just type in chat to not push the lane because Nocturne is there? You’re so good at typing curse words but why don’t you type things like this… You have been chat restricted for 1 minute.
“Ah, I’m so annoyed! Annoyed, annoyed, annoyed!”
The pink-dyed twin tails shake as if hit by the wind.
She forcibly pulls herself together mentally.
The game isn’t over yet.
Although the bottom lane that started advantageously in the early game has now turned into a disadvantage, instead, our mid laner got a solo kill and top gained tower gold advantage through the Rift Herald.
It’s terrifying from the perspective of the immobile support Xerath that the enemy jungler Nocturne has 7 kills, but League of Legends is a team game.
Rather, if they could cut down a hero who has grown so well alone, they could even turn the game around by acquiring bonus gold through shutdown.
“Yeah, come on. Now I have Stopwatch too, so come at me!”
The enemy bottom lane, which has started to get ahead in growth without needing to manage the lane, is rather pressuring us.
This is the situation I wanted.
I confirm Nocturne’s position through the ward I placed earlier.
He’s relentless. Even after ganking like that, he’s in a position to target bottom again.
When I ping for help, Lee Sin, who was near the raptors, sees Nocturne and secretly moves towards the golem to prepare for joining.
-Don’t tell me this is a dive?
-Mia’s big picture? Mindlessly giving herself to induce the enemy’s carelessness and eat shutdown gold?
-BJ Mia: I raise them to eat.
-Something big is coming. Something big is coming.
Caitlyn’s Headshot greatly cuts down the remaining energy.
To induce Nocturne’s dive, I throw my E skill, which is CC, towards Caitlyn.
At the same time, the screen turns dark and a gloomy voice is heard.
-Darkness!
Nocturne’s blade that jumps out from the darkness tears Xerath’s body.
An energy situation where I’ll die if I take just one more basic attack.
I quickly use Flash towards the inside of the tower and avoid Nocturne’s Q skill with Stopwatch.
“This is it!”
At that moment, Lee Sin, who was waiting in the blind spot of the tower’s vision, narrowed the distance by riding the Blast Cone and tried to kick Nocturne deep inside the tower by connecting Flash and ultimate.
“…!”
But Nocturne’s W skill that blocks CC was cast at an exquisite timing, and Lee Sin’s ultimate flew into the air in vain.
-Grow!
The enemy team Lulu’s ultimate that follows supports Nocturne.
Nocturne, who took about 2 tower shots, finishes off Xerath as the Stopwatch ends and escapes alive with Flash using precarious energy.
Meanwhile, although Jhin and Lee Sin dealt damage, because all team members except Xerath are AD, there wasn’t enough damage to finish off Nocturne who chose Plated Steelcaps as shoes.
“Ah…”
-I remember the BJ’s statement 5 seconds ago. ‘This is it!’
-Is this the difference in skill? Is this the difference in skill?
-Same Plat? Same Plat? Same Plat? Same Plat?
-Is there a BJ who can’t win without duo queue?
The mental state that was being maintained as thin as paper is torn by the viewers’ reactions who are excitedly mocking.
Consecutive keyboard smashing and brilliantly starting politicking.
Xerath and Jhin fight, and then Lee Sin joins in response to Akshan’s statement about jungle difference, and teamwork burns brightly.
Renekton, who was silently continuing the lane phase, requests surrender.
The number of agreements piles up in an instant.
The game is over.
[Miabomyeojinungae-nim has gifted 600 water balloons.]
[Miabomyeojinungae-nim has become a fan club member of BJ Hani.]
“Bomyeojinungae-nim, thank you so much for the 600 water balloons! Welcome to the fan club too.”
-Why are the first two characters missing?
-Ah… Is she such a bad BJ that she’s not worth mentioning?
“No, it’s because you guys keep pushing weird ideas like sniping and stuff, so I’m trying to avoid mentioning as much as possible. If you keep doing this, you’re causing trouble for that person too.”
-‘Causing trouble for that person too’ after using ultimate on Xerath in bottom lane every time the cooldown is up
-New BJ’s hypocrisy! Can’t cause trouble, but can use ultimate consecutively on that BJ-nim.
“It’s because there was a mission set. I don’t even know that person well, what kind of bad feelings would I have? Not at all.”
-Rookie BJ Hani. Shocking statement! Doesn’t even know who BJ Mia is. Seems like 3 years of broadcasting were in vain.
-Quickly export this ㄱㄱ!
The viewers’ continued false accusations in chat are slightly annoying.
But I can’t recklessly impose sanctions.
In a situation where I haven’t secured loyal viewers who will consistently watch the broadcast, if I act as I please, there’s a risk of backlash.
Now, even if it’s upsetting, it’s a situation where I need to maintain even a handful of viewers.
‘Still, it has increased a lot. As expected, being involved with a famous BJ, this trickle-down effect…’
There were 232 real-time viewers.
Given that BJ Mia’s usual viewer count is between 800-1000, I’ve properly received the effect of influx, albeit temporarily.
Thanks to this, not only did I succeed in the water balloon mission, but I was also able to acquire additional points for the simultaneous viewer mission that I had already cleared.
[You have successfully completed the mission: Let’s achieve 500 water balloons as offerings.]
[You have acquired 10 points as a reward.]
[You have achieved a goal above the standard. You acquire 2 additional points.]
[You have achieved 200 viewers, surpassing 100 simultaneous viewers.]
[You have achieved a goal above the standard. You acquire 3 additional points.]
Seeing the accumulating points, I could overcome the stress given by the viewers relatively easily.
“Then I’ll proceed with the next game.”
As things seemed to be wrapping up like that, the temporarily influxed viewers gradually left.
The number of viewers drops to 180, 150, 130, and then stops around 110-120.
It was disappointing, but not negative.
No, rather, it’s amazing that over 100 people are watching a rookie on their second day of broadcasting.
So I confidently proceeded with the next game, but…
“Uh, why is this… Hmm. This seems to be top difference, right?”
-Take off your clothes and scream in your underwear! Jungle difference, jungle difference!
-Jungle difference, yaya!
-If the enemy ganks 3 times and you don’t counter-gank until the end, it’s not guilty even if you go berserk.
“No, instead I successfully ganked mid and bottom. I also secured dragons well.”
-I don’t care. Top got destroyed!
-I don’t care about other lanes’ circumstances. Why didn’t you come top? ‘Give’ top a gank!
I occasionally play top too, but I really can’t understand the sensitivity of top lane maniacs.
The game is sufficiently advantageous, but to throw because their own lane failed.
If that’s the case, just play a 1:1 game, why play a team game?
Anyway, forgetting the disappointing loss in the second game, I won the third game, and in the fourth game, I easily finished today’s record with 3 wins and 1 loss thanks to the bottom lane’s carry.
Checking the time, the clock is already pointing to 8 o’clock.
Moreover, my throat condition, which hadn’t been good since morning, was gradually becoming burdensome.
“It’s disappointing, but because my throat condition isn’t good, I’ll end here for today. Thank you all for watching. I’ll try to start the broadcast at 5 o’clock tomorrow as well if possible.”
-Haba, meaning Hani bye.
-Haba.
-See you tomorrow.
The broadcast ends and a darkened screen greets me.
After coughing dryly a few times, I carefully drink the water from the thermos I had warmed up earlier.
“Ah…”
When I ended the broadcast, I was just happy about the unexpected additional point acquisition, but as the excitement subsides, I realize my poor throat condition.
I thought it would be fine if I spoke less, but now there was even a slightly stinging feeling.
“Can’t be helped.”
A change in plans was necessary.
Beautiful appearance and good voice are both important, but waiting for just those was uncertain even for tomorrow’s broadcast.
So I requested a related ability from the helper.
[You can acquire fatigue recovery ability by using 30 points out of your 35 points.]
“And that ability can be upgraded by using additional points?”
[That’s correct.]
Looking at BJs or streamers who conduct personal broadcasts, most of them broadcast 3-4 days a week as a baseline, and those who do personal broadcasting as a profession easily do 5-6 days.
In that sense, with this body groaning on just the second day of broadcasting, I can’t even compete.
Fatigue recovery ability.
Although the points are regrettable, it seemed like the best choice I could make at this point.
‘Let’s decide tomorrow’s broadcast after checking my throat condition. Since I don’t know how much it will recover.’
I practiced silent meditation until bedtime for recovery.
Delivery food made with ingredients known to be good for the throat for dinner
Some might say I’m overreacting, but I was just doing my best with what I could do now.
‘Let’s sleep early.’
Sufficient sleep is essential for recovery.
In the past, I would have played games or watched personal broadcasts and YouTube videos until 2-3 AM.
Gradually occurring changes in lifestyle.
Before I knew it, ‘broadcasting’ was at the center of it all.
