[TS] Starting the Broadcast

It’s my turn to choose the hero for the 2nd game.
There’s no concession or consideration.
Mia is a much more famous and successful BJ who earns a lot more money than me.
Just because I’m slightly ahead in the match, any half-hearted sympathy would just be hypocrisy.
For a thorough victory, I’ve closely investigated Mia’s hero pool all this time.
And so, I select the optimal hero.
“The hero appearing in the 2nd match is Master Yi! Tsk, as expected, a jungler can’t resist Yi. Haven’t all you junglers dreamed of it at least once? The image of yourself carrying with Yi.”
-Cosmic Blade! Cosmic Blade! Cosmic Blade!
-I dreamed of getting a pentakill with Yi yesterday. Taking questions.
-Can’t resist jungle Yi. I miss those days when nothing was fearsome with mid Talon by your side.
-Blocking Yi maniacs. The true Yi is Flash Yi. I miss those days of mindlessly doing jungle RPG.
-Is this a Yi maniac meetup? The stench is overwhelming, as expected of the reputation of only jungling until level 6 ;;

Yi is a hero renowned as one of the 3 great maniacs in League of Legends along with Vayne and Teemo.
However, now he’s had to step down from the throne of the 3 great maniac kings, buried under the impact of the overwhelmingly powerful Yasuo, but he’s still one of the heroes that draws resentment from teammates!
As a result of analyzing Mia’s records, she’s only played Yi 3 times.
And even those were all during in-house games or casual normal games with other BJs.
‘Yi seems simple, but his difficulty is higher than you’d think. Beginners or people who haven’t played him don’t know that.’
The utility of the Q skill that can perfectly dodge CC abilities and the W skill that allows you to withstand focused attacks for a short time. And catching the perfect timing to use them appropriately!
Whether Yi becomes a liability or carries is really decided in an instant.
‘It’s so difficult to time those moments that even I gave up on him above Platinum, but…’
Well, what’s important now isn’t such past facts.
What’s important is that when it comes to Yi, the mastery difference between Mia and me is like heaven and earth.
And the 2nd game flowed one-sidedly as expected, and the match was decided almost embarrassingly easily.
“Ah… compared to the fierce 1st game, this is too anticlimactic. To end so easily like this.”
In a match between melee heroes, a much quicker end is possible if you set your mind to it.
And I took down Mia’s Yi as soon as I hit level 2.
-How dare a tool arrogantly challenge to a 1:1!
-Crush the tool! Can’t resist a level 2 kill angle.
-Does a bus specialist Hyeji know kill angles? Does a bus specialist Hyeji know kill angles? Does a bus specialist Hyeji know kill angles?
-A game that ended with one person at level 2 and the other at level 1… this is rare.

The chat window shakes.
I checked briefly, and surprisingly, the viewers in my room had exceeded 300.
Needless to say about the viewer numbers in Mia’s or Lark’s broadcasts.
The atmosphere is overheated.
Recognizing this, Lark postpones the 3rd game for a moment to conduct interviews in order to calm down the viewers’ excitement.
“Well, well, the match result has become 2:0, flowing somewhat one-sidedly. Actually, with this result, we can’t help but feel regretful about the 1st game. Mia-nim, what do you think?”
“…I’m frustrated. I thought I would definitely win the 1st game.”
Actually, since the format was that Mia would choose the mirror match hero for the 1st game and I would choose for the 2nd game, many people expected that each would win one game and the match would be decided in the 3rd game if they thought about it normally.

“Certainly, I didn’t expect the 1st game to be so fierce either. I looked at Hani-nim’s records as preparation, and there weren’t many games where she played Lulu.”
“Lulu… Lulu…”
-Since 700,000 Lulu mastery has become useless, please throw it in the trash.
-Is there a support who’s worse at Lulu than a jungler?
-Dun dun! Actually, Lulu was a jungle hero all along!

Mia seemed quite agitated by the result that didn’t match her confidence in certain victory.
Since I’m indebted in various ways, including viewer numbers and water balloons, I decide to try to smooth over the situation at this point.
“Actually, I’ve played Lulu quite a lot.”
“What? But you said your main position is jungle and your sub-positions are ADC or top.”
“Yes, that’s right. I didn’t play her much on my main account, but on my sub-account, I played top Lulu for almost an entire season.”
“…!”
-Top Lulu!?
-How dare dirty tool heroes come to the sacred top lane!
-Begone, devil!
-Ugh, I think I’m getting PTSD. Top Lulu, top Lulu!

“Ah, come to think of it, there was a time when supports occupied the top lane for a while. No, it seems top Lulu appeared even before that.”
“Yes, it was briefly popular during the Censer meta, but it was used occasionally even before that.”
“Then, perhaps your Lulu mastery is…?”
“If you count both my main and sub-accounts, it would exceed 300,000. And since I always played 1:1 when playing Lulu top, I think the setup itself worked a bit more in my favor in this match.”
-Does this mean that the experience of top Lulu had a bigger impact than support Lulu since it’s a 1:1 match?
-Hmm, now I understand a bit. Certainly, even though Mia is a Hyeji, she is good at Lulu. It would be an exaggeration to say she has the skill to lose to a jungler who doesn’t even know how to play Lulu.

The atmosphere is gradually being smoothed over.
Even the viewers who were mocking and ridiculing Mia, the loser, are now watching the changing public opinion.
Recognizing this, Lark skillfully soothes public opinion by praising both Mia and Hani.
Naturally, although the match has already been decided, he tries to end on a high note with the 3rd game while also trying to give Mia the image of having ‘fought well despite losing’.
“The 3rd game is in blind pick format. You start the game without knowing what hero the other person is picking. I’m really looking forward to seeing what heroes Mia-nim and Hani-nim have prepared!”
Each picks their hero and confirms their runes and summoner spells.
The 3rd game begins.
Now it’s time to put the finishing touches.

I reached Platinum tier by duoing with a BJ I know.
Is that such a wrong thing?
I’ve never disparaged Bronze-Silver-Gold tiers.
But they hate me, ignore me, and harbor malice towards me.
Whenever my title mentions Platinum or I reveal that my current rank is Platinum in in-house games or other small-scale game tournaments, they invariably appear to mock, curse, spam, and reveal their blackened inner thoughts without reserve.
Why on earth do they do this?
Is it because they’re so displeased that I’m in a higher tier than them with help from others?
They cry out for fairness, saying duo queue is unfair, but why do these supposedly righteous people ignore the numerous problems in society and come to seek fairness and equality in a mere game?
I can’t understand or comprehend it.
They just torment me, and I suffer again today.
While swallowing such depressing emotions and keeping them hidden deep inside, one day.
By chance, I met another BJ in a game.
It’s not common, but it’s not a very rare occurrence either.
The number of people challenging personal broadcasting was increasing day by day, and there was no game content that BJs focused on as much as League of Legends.
The viewers said.
We’re both Platinum, but I’m a Hyeji who climbed by duo bus, while the opponent is a skilled user who only plays solo queue with jungle as their main position.
I laughed it off as if it was nothing.
But inside, I was burning up.
I got my first death due to the intervention of Nocturne, the hero the opponent BJ picked.
And I died again to Nocturne’s ultimate as soon as he hit level 6.
After that, I died again and again.
Someone among the viewers said it was sniping.
I was frustrated. And angry.
I tried to control myself, but it wasn’t easy to endure.
After even my last planned strategy using Stopwatch failed, I found myself slamming the keyboard, unable to contain my anger.
As if they had been waiting, malicious groups flood in, polluting the chat window.
In the end, I fought with those groups.
I banned chatting and even completely blocked broadcast viewing for severe cases by putting them on the blacklist.
After venting my anger like that, I regained some sense.
I ended the broadcast and searched for BJ Hani’s broadcast, who had played Nocturne.
Unfortunately, she had already ended her broadcast while I was fighting with the malicious groups.
In the end, I postponed what I had decided and took a rest.
My head hurts.
Am I doing well right now?
I started broadcasting because I liked being able to laugh happily with viewers, so why did this happen?
That person probably doesn’t receive any criticism?
While I’m struggling like this.
It might have been jealousy. And I thought.
If I compete with BJ Hani and win to prove my skill, wouldn’t the malice towards me decrease a little?
That’s how the match was arranged.
The 1st game is Lulu.
Lulu… I’m confident in Lulu.
Even the malicious groups criticize me for duoing, but they’ve never said I’m bad at Lulu.
But I lost.
I fought fiercely, but in the end, a loss is a loss.
My mind goes blank from the unexpected defeat.
I can’t even properly remember how the 2nd game progressed.
When I came to my senses, my hero was already fallen, and Lark oppa was declaring BJ Hani’s victory in a low voice.
Why did it turn out like this?
The chat window is burning.
Justice served, Hyeji’s true skill revealed, it’s ugly to challenge first and lose, trolls more excited than usual are running rampant.
I don’t even have the strength to stop them.
I felt like I was going to cry.
Perhaps catching the unfavorable atmosphere, Lark oppa paused the proceedings for a moment and tried to change the mood with an interview.
No, there’s no way out of this.
I challenged first and lost ugly.
This is ultimately a burden I have to bear.
Something I have to take full responsibility for…
That’s what I thought, but surprisingly, BJ Hani defended me.
She said she actually played Lulu quite a lot.
Rather, the 1st game was a match setup more favorable to her.
With the person directly involved speaking up, the malice in the chat window hesitates.
They lose their justification to criticize me.
Then the fans step up to drive them out.
Public opinion changes.
Noticing this, Lark oppa creates a warm atmosphere by praising both sides.
In the midst of this, I became a character who recklessly challenged to a match without any particular friendship, caught up in the desire to win, but since that was my image from the start, there was no damage at all.
‘Hani-nim… she said she’s 24?’
I remember the information I heard during the brief self-introduction time before the match.
It’s not common to find female BJs in higher tiers than me with positions other than support.
If I count roughly, would it be about 10 people?
Anyway, she’s better at League of Legends than me.
And she’s kind and considerate.
If it were other fox-like BJs, they wouldn’t have missed this opportunity to tear me apart and steal my viewers.
“I misjudged her.”
The 3rd game begins.
Blind pick where we hide each other’s heroes.
I make a small resolution.
After today’s broadcast ends, I’ll apologize to BJ Hani for the rudeness of suddenly challenging her to a 1:1 match without any prior acquaintance.
