Chapter 148
League of Streaming was the most representative tournament amongst those streamers participated in, boasting the largest scale and buzz.
The name came from the main game being The League, but it held a scale that fit well in other meanings, too.
Once the tournament began, it was safe to say that other topics from other games would struggle to surface. No, they’d be buried.
With the shift to virtual reality, the streaming market had grown so massive that there was no user who only played games, and the sheepification of gamers had been successfully achieved.
A hallmark trait of sheeple was that they couldn’t resist streamer tournaments.
Even if it was a game they didn’t know, they’d figure it out by watching.
And wasn’t The League a game that pretty much everyone knew?
On top of that, a few famous streamers always participated.
So it wasn’t odd that from the very start, nearly everyone was crowded into The League’s category.
[The auction seems to be going weirdly?]
That was a comment that popped up when Taewoo bid 750 points for Seojun, an A-rank pick.
-For real lmao
-There are two weird team captains lol lol lol lol ah lol lol
-This is why the tournament ops divided by skill. So they’d at least have decent team member skills lol lol lol
It wasn’t that.
The biggest reason was that dividing by position inevitably meant recruiting all participants within similar tiers, which severely limited the recruitment pool.
Also, the auction failing was an even greater possibility this way.
[Bidding that much from the start for that streamer is a bit...]
[Phew. Mental bro looks out of that competition]
[Tsk tsk. As they say, in LoS auctions, an A-rank is always best in the jungle...]
[Honestly, A-rank is fine except for top lane]
[What’s wrong with top!]
[Anyway, isn’t his sync rate 10? To bid that much straight from the start seems way too stupid]
The public sentiment of those chatting away like this did not change even after the bidding for Seojun ended.
[Even if the casters cover for it, this is just nonsense]
[All-in? Next time don’t make Yunho the captain]
[Then again, if you think about it, there are three captains who went all-in...]
[Phew! Mental bro almost had to take it!]
[Wow, but from now on Ha Yunho’s team has to pick only the people everyone else threw away lol lol lol lol lol]
Yes.
Up until now, everyone had only looked on with skepticism.
And as their predictions gave way to the foregone conclusion, public opinion gained even more steam.
It was to be expected, but the result came out worse than anticipated.
[ABC is three mid laners? I knew this would happen.]
==
As luck would have it, the best players are the three mid laners. And they’re guys who got passed over because they only play mid lol lol lol lol lol
Looks like the weakest team in history has been born
==
-There’s a reason they were passed over
-The “I knew this would happen” special: I did not know this would happen
└But this time everyone really expected it lol lol lol lol lol
-This is genuinely bad, though. That A-rank guy at least seems to have exceptional physical ability; will he learn a different lane?
└Not getting his main lane is a loss, but what can you do. If B-rank Wind Sword goes to another lane and is fucking awful, A-rank should yield for the team lol lol lol lol
└For real lol this is why you don’t go all-in
[Honestly, Jin Seojun, fuse]
In that instant, Alpaca had a question mark pop up in his head.
This is right? A human being?
“Ah. You meant shoot the engine room?”
Seojun laughed awkwardly and, without taking his eyes off the scope, fired the next shot.
