Fanatic Youtuber Who Writes Wikis - Chapter 92
The Ayase Cup Battle Lounge Tournament was a light-hearted competition that started in a rather relaxed atmosphere, but the prize money was by no means small.
It’s a fact that a total prize of 30 million won for a one-day tournament is quite a hefty sum.
[Hey guys, hello! Ayase is here!]
With Ayase’s greeting, the tournament began.
During the tournament, temporarily streaming Ayase’s broadcast was allowed.
Ayase quickly skimmed through the introduction and rules of the tournament.
It made sense, though.
[The prize money for this tournament is entirely sponsored by Ayase! There are no rules! Timing is free, tea-bagging is free! Since I’m fully funding the tournament, I get to set the rules as I please!]
There were no separate sponsors, and there were no separate rules.
- That's legit, fr lol.
- Ah, I’m the sponsor, lol.
- Ah – Hwang.
- Da Hwang Ya Se.
- I worship you. The GOAT among VTubers.
- Thank you for inviting our cult leader.
- Jiaya, you’ve hit the jackpot in life, man.
- I went to Ayase’s stream and spammed support for Jiaya. No need to thank me.
- Kya
- There’s no one but you.
The chat was filled with rapid praise for Ayase.
Thanks for rescuing our cult leader from a deserted island, or something like that.
…It’s true, though.
I’m a mid-tier VTuber with decent viewership, somewhere between a major company and a small one, but the only collab I’ve done so far was Ayase’s hell show.
There is a goal for this tournament.
Not some trivial goal like ‘doing my part as a Level 4 backpack.’
I mean the real goal.
I want to expand my network.
As a fervent follower of the shining stars, whether I like it or not, I have to keep streaming once a day from now on.
Right now, my streams are doing well, so I’m not worried.
But going downhill in streaming can happen in an instant.
The moment I slip up even once, I’ll be in a much tougher spot compared to other streamers.
Because for me.
The option of ‘self-reflection’ is completely out of the question.
The 6-month rule?
No, for me, it’s the 1-day rule.
Frankly, even if I make an epic blunder and get immortalized in various communities and the 9 o’clock news.
I have to keep streaming without any self-reflection.
…Thinking about it, it’s really terrifying.
I must never fall into hell, no matter what.
Anyway, since being a streamer is quite an unstable profession.
It’s good to build as many connections as possible.
Who knows.
If I ever fall into hell, my network might just run me through the wringer.
Even I think it’s a rather impure motive.
But in this world, everything has a specific intention.
Battle Royale is a game that’s quite conducive to building connections.
First of all, the looting phase is long.
What are you going to do during that long looting phase?
You’re going to laugh and chat with your teammates.
There’s no better opportunity to get close to other streamers.
While I was lost in these thoughts, the tournament quickly progressed to the time for introducing the participants.
The introduction order was from Tier 1 to Tier 3.
It seems they’re introducing them in order of skill.
“Ah.”
- Last place lolololololol.
- Lolololololol.
- The host is last lololololol.
- Official) Jiaya is terrible.
I was the last in line.
…Well, what did I expect?
Where in the world would you find a streamer worse at games than me?
It was an obvious result.
Now that it’s my turn, I’m feeling oddly nervous.
The team introductions were accompanied by very brief interviews.
First, the streamer considered the best at Battle Royale.
The Tier 1 streamer.
‘Mbot’ was interviewed.
[Hello, Mbot!]
[Hello, Ayase! And hello, everyone! I’m Mbot, your Battle Royale partner streamer. Nice to meet you!]
- Kyahhhh
- The great M-bot
- Aim bot (not really).
- Aim hack (seriously good).
- That guy really has a different playstyle.
- He’s the king.
- He’s in the top 10 rankings lololol.
[Now, Mbot! Any final words!]
[I’ll get ‘that’ key. That’s all.]
[Gasp… This might be a bit controversial…! Everyone, Ayase is completely unrelated to the above statement. Yes, moving on…]
- The interview is so fast lololololol.
- The pacing is so smooth lololol.
- Well, there are 40 people lol.
- Unlike someone, Ayase isn’t getting roasted, yep.
- How's the progress? AyTube.
- How about saving Hako? AyTube.
- How about saving Wangjjijjing Pink Pot Fanatic? AyTube.
- Uhhh.
- What does that mean...
The speed of the interview was unprecedented.
Ayase probably hates dragging things out, so she wants to get the competition moving quickly.
Interviewing 39 people took less than 5 minutes.
Before I could even think, it was already my turn.
[Lastly, the dark horse and the most popular contestant of this competition, let's welcome Ji-ah! Ji-ah, hello~!]
"Ah, hello...!"
Why am I the dark horse? Why am I the most popular?
Who would want me on their team?
[How are you, Ji-ah? Are you nervous?]
"I-I'm not really nervous about the competition... but talking to Ayase makes me nervous... yes..."
[Ah, really! Even if you flatter me like that, I don't feel good at all?]
It wasn't just lip service; surprisingly, it was a fact.
Talking to Ayase is always nerve-wracking.
Since Ayase debuted, half of my life has been hers, so it's no exaggeration.
It's only natural to be nervous.
[Now, with Ji-ah's final resolve, the interview is...]
"Pfft."
[Oh? Did I say something funny?]
"Ah, it's nothing!"
I can't say it.
The reason I burst out laughing just now.
I absolutely can't say it.
- ?
- Why the laughter?
- What's going on?
- Awkward silence;;;;
- Ah, I'm embarrassed.
- What are you doing lololol.
[ㅇㅇdonated 1,000 won.]
No way, this idiot! Ji-ah's <- Did you burst out laughing because of this? Right? Please say no.
"Pfft."
- Yep, damn it lololol.
- Are you crazy lololol.
- How do you even associate that word with what you just heard, you crazy lololol.
- Is this what a VTuber is? Is this what a VTuber is? Is this what a VTuber is? Is this what a VTuber is?
- Can you function in daily life?
- Ah, Mu-byeol, what are you doing! Manage your affiliated VTubers better!
- Ji-ah's... hehehehehe. Why is it arousing?
- ?
- Dude
- No, this is going to get framed weirdly, damn it lololol.
- After the competition ends today, Ayase's gonna get a report right away, damn it lololol.
[Eek, you're laughing again! Did I say something wrong?]
"Ah, I laughed because of the fans, yep. Everyone, shut up, Ayase is speaking!"
- ?
- ??
- Why are you yelling at us!!!!!!!
- Crazy girl... crazy girl...!
"Ah, anyway, resolve! Yep. Uh... I'll do my best. And to those who end up on the same team as me, I apologize in advance!"
Ayase's chat.
The innocent folks don't understand why I laughed and keep sending question marks.
My chat.
The already corrupted fans are calling me a pervert, a crazy bitch, and laughing away.
Ah.
This is off to a bad start.
…
…
…
It's random team selection time.
This is pretty much the only rule of this competition, and in a way, it's the most dopamine-inducing special rule of this competition.
Everything's fine, as long as I don't end up last...
Given that this competition threw balance out the window, the gap between the top and bottom of Tier 1 is like heaven and earth.
Can a bottom-tier Tier 1 streamer handle my skills?
I doubt it, probably not.
I hope I end up with at least a mid-tier Tier 1 skilled player.
[Now, spinning!]
And so, the random team selection wheel spun.
The results are out.
My first match teammates are...
[Team 7]
[Tier 1: Mbot]
[Tier 2: Pint]
[Tier 2: Baekjanggun]
[Tier 3: Ji-ah]
- Oh sh*t.
- Wow.
- Wow, damn it lololol.
- Did we just win??????????
- Luck-based lololololol.
- Reverse harem party formation ㄷㄷㄷㄷ.
"Oh, sexy!!!"
- ?
- ??
- Sexy?
"...Yatsu!"
- Are you crazy lololol.
- It's already too late, damn it lololol.
- Please, cult leader.
- I want to convert...
- Why is this a VTuber, damn it.
- You're a pervert. You're a pervert. You're a pervert.
- If she didn't show overwhelming mid-lane skills with half-cam, she'd be a pervert for real.
Ah, I made a slip of the tongue.
I couldn't help it because I was feeling so good.
Of course, I knew all 39 streamers participating in this competition.
I didn't study them separately beforehand.
It seems Ayase had already recruited well-known people from the start.
M-bot, a top-tier streamer.
Needless to say, he's literally on a different level.
As you can tell from his nickname, when he first started streaming, there were rampant suspicions across various communities that he was using an aimbot.
M-bot eventually proved he wasn't an aimbot user by boldly winning an offline competition.
If he hadn't, there would still be people doubting M-bot to this day.
That's how good he is at shooting.
Next, Baekjanggun and Pint from the second tier.
With as many as 20 people, the second tier has the widest skill gap.
Baekjanggun and Pint.
They are among the top of those 20 second-tier users.
This team, to put it bluntly.
[Devil's Whisper has donated 5,000 won.]
Leader, why don't we just start by dying from the beginning?
Ah.
As that donation suggests, even without me, the three of them could 'probably' win the competition.
Even if there's some bad luck with the zone, they could probably still win.
Honestly, it might even increase the team's chances of winning if I just committed suicide from the start.
But as I said, I can't afford to go to the abyss.
It's a competition.
"We have to do our best."
- Ah
- We’re screwed.
- M-bot, you're the bestttt!
- The biggest upset ever is coming!!!!
- Two huge upsets! Two huge upsets! Two huge upsets!
- Info) Upsets are made of fat.
- Info) Upsets are made of divine power.
"I'm not that bad! I've learned!"
Don't insult the fruits of my learning.
I'll show you.
The greatness of private education.
Soon, I entered the competition's voice chat room and looked for room 7.
The other three streamers had already entered room 7, excluding me.
Heh heh heh.
Just seeing their nicknames makes me feel good.
I don't think I need to worry about paying back my debt to Yui-seul with my body.
- This guy's mouth is really hanging on his ear.
- Are you happy just meeting three guys?
- Yep.
- Oh, was that it? I thought you were happy to meet skilled players lol.
- Ugh, you South American pervert.
- Reverse harem ON.
"Shut up! It's blasphemy! Clergy don't date!"
- Wow, the vow of celibacy declaration ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
Now that I think about it.
Except for me, they're all guys.
Given the high ratio of VTuber participants, the gender ratio of this competition's members seems to be roughly 7:3, with more women.
What a strange coincidence.
...Is that good?
Well, it doesn't seem bad.
For now, I'm more comfortable talking to guys than to girls.
*Huff.*
Haa.
*Huff.*
Haa.
Since it was my first time talking to streamers other than Ayase.
With a nervous heart.
I entered room 7.
