Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 76
Episode 76: The Crew’s Effect
November 13, Sunday.
The streaming community of Pangea TV was writing a new history every day.
This is not just a saying.
Big company streamers who had moved on from the star era each prepared a new stage, and Sayoh was busy working to make Prika a success, while on the other side, Yuseona was promoting Vtopia daily on her broadcasts, fueling the excitement.
Is that all?
The Lena Universe was going through internal strife, but each member was still thriving, and Decrescendo Pocotin was gradually expanding its influence.
Though they had lost players to the emerging crews, there was no way to ignore the presence of Dunyang-i’s “Thief Crew,” stealing the hearts of viewers.
What a creative name!
Will the thief become one who steals the hearts of the viewers?
“I never thought there would be someone with worse naming sense than our leader.”
“Shut up!”
In addition, the number of virtual transfer students was continuously increasing.
In the midst of such chaos, our V-Live crew also existed.
– Pocotin seems to be doing really well lately. After bringing in Yami and Hiyorii, they’re preparing Christmas carols and already showing class, hehe.
ㄴAre you a Ugugug native? I have no idea how Pocotin was before Orikung transferred, haha.
ㄴWow! Protect the past of virtual!
ㄴTo be honest, it seems more like Decrescendo than Pocotin (nervous response).
– Seoa, honestly, I think it’s a water rocket.
At first, I thought it was a big misunderstanding, but I was disappointed after seeing the crew member selection.
I didn’t expect a similar caliber anyway, but how can Miho and Mayo be a thing? Their fans will just be drained.
ㄴThose who doubt Daeseoa will never escape from a negative balance.
ㄴThis is also Daeseoa’s grace.
ㄴJoo-Ddak, no matter how I look, it seems agents from here have infiltrated the gallery; manage this!
– What is really happening with Lena Universe?
With the current situation, it seems like it’s gonna explode for real, and that scares me.
Mr. Lena seems to be fighting with Yume, and it seems there are some issues with the company.
The main base is watching carefully, and the atmosphere is seriously tense.
ㄴHonestly, if the virtual fans watched Rabbit TV, they probably won’t watch this broadcast, haha.
ㄴMr. Lena and Lena Universe also have their burdens; that’s why they came over since there was no answer on Rabbit TV.
ㄴIt’s been a while since I’ve wanted to see some heated participation.
The Pangea TV gallery was just as chaotic.
Hoping for the success of the broadcast and crew they support while also keeping a wary eye on their competitors.
Fortunately, Joo-Ddak was actively managing the disputes among gallery members, so everyone was being cautious.
“Surely we are a bit lacking.”
As of today, our café has 1,017 members.
Finally achieving a four-digit number, we were still only halfway to Decrescendo and two-thirds of Pocotin.
I think this outcome could honestly disappoint my fans.
If we disregard the crew and look at individuals, I was slightly better off compared to Park Nana and Orikung.
They would likely think I selected the crew member poorly.
But as a returned person, that’s just laughable.
I know the future of both crews.
The former brilliantly exploding and the latter slowly dying out.
In comparison, V-Melody was under the dictatorship of Bluebee but had survived until 2025.
“Surviving is proof of being strong.”
Let’s temporarily forget about Lucy choosing switching.
Such a thing will never happen this time.
“Still, it’s about time to show some action. Eventually, viewers want to see the main base streamer in action.”
I ended up missing this whole week while worrying about the crew members.
Even if I turn on the broadcast, it mostly consists of calm communication, including café visits.
Ultimately, what viewers desire is dopamine.
The fun that can be gained through the broadcast.
Especially if the main base streamer can be part of Pangea TV’s mainstream, fans would have nothing left to wish for.
“In mainstream, it’s definitely League of Legends. I’ve been preparing hard for a while, so the timing is not bad.”
To get involved in the League of Legends scene, a certain number of games must be played to evaluate the skill accurately.
Since they bet money, the teams had to be formed as fairly as possible.
So I had been steadily filling my game count through secret methods.
In order to eventually break into Pangea TV’s mainstream.
“Some fans may hate League, but it can’t be helped. A crew must have at least one main game to focus on.”
If we consider the ratio of viewers who like games to those who don’t, it’s about 8:2.
Just because the ‘2’ dislikes it doesn’t mean we can give up on ‘8.’
That’s why all big company streamers have one foot in the League scene.
For Kim Hak-do and Mr. Seong-ho, League was their main content.
Consequently, the status of League in Pangea TV was special.
“Though they call it the big four games: PUBG, FIFA, StarCraft, and League, the most popular ultimately remains League. FIFA tends to rank lower among those.”
The atmosphere surrounding StarCraft was such that you couldn’t even join without showing your cam due to the demand for strict broadcasting, making it a tough realm for virtual streamers to touch.
PUBG’s deep nature and reckless targeting by streamers alongside game hacks have led to a decline in popularity.
Knowing that future, I had no choice but to hold onto ‘League.’
“Alright, then… Ah! Here it is.”
Just in time, a League CK was scheduled for tonight.
The so-called “No CK” hosted by the big company streamer Buck Minam Park Bong-sik!
The way to support that CK was simple.
You just had to comment with your main role, tier, and League ID on the post made by Buck Minam Park Bong-sik!
However, while applying was easy, getting selected was hard.
Buck Minam Park Bong-sik could be said to be the president of Pangea TV at this point.
He routinely had more than 30,000 viewers, and when he did content, he comfortably reached 40,000 or even 50,000.
How many applicants would there be for a CK with him?
The comment section was filled with streamers who were eager to gain attention on the big stage.
Thus, two methods were required to increase the chances of being selected for the CK.
Firstly, having connections with Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.
Since he would prioritize streamers he usually got along with, having connections was crucial.
However, as a total of 10 people were needed for the CK, connections alone couldn’t fill the number.
Some connected people don’t play League, some are on break, and some don’t have the right timing due to daytime broadcasts.
In such cases, the remaining members would be filled based on upvotes in the comments.
Being someone without connections, I could only rely on the latter method.
For that, I had to move busily.
“First, I’ll write the application comment…”
[Jungle main position / Plat 4 / Courage to be hated]
I hurriedly wrote the comment and then posted an announcement on the broadcast station.
The content was simply that I applied for the evening No CK and requested everyone to press upvote.
Then the next step was V-Live’s fan cafe.
It was finally time to feel the power of the crew.
V-Live crew fans, let’s all come together!
As I wrote the post requesting everyone to upvote my comment along with the link, the responses came back quickly.
The fact that they had joined the fan café meant they were far more active than casual viewers.
At the very least, it showed they were willing to endure a bit of inconvenience to navigate to the link and upvote my comment.
“Great. This is the power of the crew.”
What would have only received 300 or 400 upvotes by me alone exceeded 500 with the crew’s strength.
Moreover, the incoming wind didn’t stop there.
The b*tt picking viewers hanging around the Pangea TV board on FM Community.
Someone took my announcement post and uploaded it.
At that time, there was a consensus among the b*tt picking viewers.
If there was big content and virtuals were applying, let’s support regardless of crews and just upvote.
They wanted to see a virtual streamer thrive on a big stage.
Their solidarity was incomparable to those scattered among various fandoms of human streamers.
Instantly, over 1,700 upvotes were cast, not only taking first place but also doubling the gap from second place.
At this point, considering public sentiment, it was inevitable for Buck Minam Park Bong-sik to prioritize selecting me.
– Wow! Could it be that Seoa will actually get picked for No CK?
If picked, wouldn’t it be the first time a virtual streamer participates in CK?
Plus, it’s not just any CK but No CK, oh my!
ㄴI hope Seoa gets picked this time to break the ice… So that virtual streamers can get picked in other CKs.
ㄴI thought Baio would be the first virtual to do CK since she’s a League streamer, but she’s on break today, sigh.
ㄴBut Seoa’s tier is Plat 4? And not even support Hyeji, but she’s a jungler? How did she get that up?
It became quite a significant issue on FM Community.
Despite the recent virtual boom, there had never been a link between big company streamers and virtual streamers before.
All eyes were focused.
