The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting
Chapter 36: Hey, Are You Crying? (2)“Ah! What is that?”
“It looks like it has some kind of meaning!”
“Team SB is deliberately leaving Streamer Haing’s <Fairy Wizard> alive and retreating!”
The commentators of the Destruction Match raised their voices as they continued to broadcast the strange situation that had suddenly unfolded.
It was a situation they had never seen before.
The viewers were also confused.
-Aren’t they deliberately letting him live and going back?
-They’ve only been killing the support until now.
-Hey, look at Haing. It looks like she’s crying.
-I think Sha whispered something to her. Ah, I wish I could hear the in-game voice.-What did our evil one say?
-Those two really don’t get along.
-What a jerk, making a girl cry.
The opinions in the chat were divided.
Viewers who knew what had happened between Sha and Haing roughly understood, but those who weren’t usually interested in them were criticizing Sha in a slightly negative tone.
To those who didn’t know anything, it just seemed like Sha was bullying Haing.
A live broadcast of the Destruction Match viewed by countless people.
Haing’s few fans didn’t miss this opportunity to spread negative propaganda about Sha.
-Our Haing is too kind to get angry.
-That streamer Sha knows this and is bullying her on purpose just for his own broadcast.
-Are you guys hired?
-Oh… I see. He’s really a bad person.
-That’s bullshit. She’s just a bad girl, and our evil one is teaching her a lesson.
-No, our evil one is just trash.
-Haha, the support difference is huge.
-But KDA 0/8/2? Haing turned the area code into Korea’s international number.
While the chat was turning into a political battleground, the game was heavily leaning to one side.
<team SB>, which had destroyed the bottom turret, quickly gained the upper hand, and <team HaingIsBack> lost everything helplessly without any significant resistance.
And 16 minutes after the game started.
Eventually, <team HaingIsBack> unanimously declared surrender, ending the game.
“Ah… it’s an early surrender declaration?”
“Normally, it would be better to play until the Nexus is destroyed. Early surrender could make the next game difficult.”
“They should have resisted somehow to maintain their momentum.”
The commentators started giving negative opinions about their early surrender declaration.
Since professional gamers participated in the content, the game was supposed to be well-structured internally and externally.
It wasn’t a pro league, but they thought it would be a game close to that level.
But what is this?
From teabagging and bad manners in the opening match to early surrender declarations.
The pro league commentators couldn’t hide their slightly darkened expressions, and the streamer caster Gat Tae tried hard to manage the situation.
“Ah, it seems they prepared performances for the Destruction Match. As expected, Sha’s unique concept is…”
But Gat Tae couldn’t continue his words.
Because streamer Haing, who came out of the capsule after the game, started crying bitterly.
“Huhuhuh. Huhuhuh.”
As Haing began to cry very sadly, the quiet commentators started to speak one by one.
“What on earth happened between the two of them?”
“It seemed like streamer Sha said something in-game… she’s really crying sadly.”
Haing’s appearance was quite beautiful.
As always, the tears of a beautiful woman quickly created sympathy among the viewers.
-She really looks sad. Didn’t our evil one cross the line?
-Haha, I told you. That guy’s really trash.
-I’m so disappointed.
-Isn’t our evil one a jerk?
-Really.
-Oh, she’s crying so pitifully.
Sympathy is always a powerful force. Even those who were suspicious of Haing earlier now shut their mouths and were typing messages of pity.
Public opinion towards Sha was rapidly deteriorating.
While the camera briefly zoomed in on Haing, Sha also came out of the capsule.
The Destruction Match cameramen didn’t miss the scene.
Unlike Haing, Sha stretched lightly and smiled broadly at the camera.
Once again, the viewers’ opinions wavered.
-Accepting that he’s trash.
-Explain yourself!
-Always walking the thin line, and now ruining his life in one go. Serves him right, jerk.
-Did you get beaten up by our evil one in school or something?
-You’re supporting that guy in this situation? I can guess your level of upbringing.
The chat, beyond chaos, was like hell.
One clear thing was that the opinion towards Sha was not the same as before.
Newly joined viewers saw Sha as the clear villain.
Even the Evil Gang, not knowing the detailed situation, didn’t bother to defend Sha.
Only a few extreme members of the Evil Gang were still saying, “Sha did well,” and defending him.
While sympathy for Haing was spreading quickly.
-Check out ChickenBox official MiTube.
-Suddenly?
-I can roughly see why Sha did that. Haing is really a bad girl.
-What are you talking about?
-Haha, it’s amazing. This is a real popcorn moment. Everyone, go check it out.
Some viewers started talking about the ChickenBox official MiTube, and a few curious people went to watch the video uploaded there.
And soon after.
People who watched the video out of curiosity began to criticize Haing all at once.
-Is that why Sha did that?
-Yes, definitely.
-Our evil one! Our evil one! Our evil one!
-All-time legend.
-What are you talking about? Haing is crying so sadly, how can you support that bad guy?
-??? haha
-Mister! Go watch the video. The streamer you support is done for!
The video uploaded on the official ChickenBox MiTube.
It was a sniper video by <Ttoppo>, a streamer from ChickenBox, who had recently received a notice of partnership termination from Twipod Korea.
To summarize the video content, it was a direct accusation of abuse of authority by a Twipod Korea operator.
And there was one female streamer mentioned in that video.
It was none other than streamer Haing, who was crying sadly over there.
The story was that one of the Twipod operators, who was in a romantic relationship with Haing, had eliminated her competitors for her broadcasts.
The sympathetic public opinion that had been protecting her vanished in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, some viewers began speculating that Sha had acted knowing all the circumstances.
The situation was reversed once again.
And at the center of it, streamer Sha was smiling confidently with a raised corner of his mouth.
4.
Break time after the end of the first round.
I returned to the waiting room and took my smartphone out of my pocket. Then I checked how things were going.
Everything was flowing according to the scenario I had planned.
Sung-jae had uploaded the sniper video at a very good timing, and all the arrows of criticism directed at me had changed their target.
The abuse of authority by Twipod Korea had finally come to light.
The sniper video that ChickenBox had been preparing for a long time.
I had already discussed this with Sung-jae some time ago.
Streamer Ttoppo from ChickenBox had been unilaterally expelled from Twipod due to viewbotting allegations.
Moreover, a few days ago, there were also allegations about me using viewbots posted on an internet community site.
It was almost the exact same scenario as Ttoppo’s.
It was probably a speculative post uploaded by someone trying to slander me.
I had a rough idea whose mind such a plan might have come from.
Jackson Oh.
That guy must have used the same pattern to devise this.
He used his authority to the fullest, but he lacked originality.
“Krr, as expected of Sha. Did you plan for such a situation too?”
Komeuljwi, who was checking the smartphone with me, exclaimed.
I shrugged my shoulders and replied nonchalantly.
“It wasn’t particularly intentional… Let’s just focus on the Destruction Match for now.”
“Do you think the Destruction Match will proceed well in this state?”
“I’m sorry for the others, but at least for us, it’s not a bad situation at all.”
According to the information released by ChickenBox, Twipod Korea couldn’t evade responsibility for this controversy.
The host of this Destruction Match was Twipod Korea.
Now that the internal issue of Twipod Korea had surfaced, the fate of the Destruction Match was frankly ambiguous.
However, since the situation had already escalated, they had no choice but to continue the Destruction Match with tears in their eyes.
We just had to keep playing as we had prepared for this Destruction Match.
After all, the viewers were the ones evaluating everything, not us.
“How should we handle the second round?”
“Just keep going like now. The mood of the other team is probably shattered by now.”
I had already talked a lot to Carla.
It’s very difficult to break a solid bond, but it’s easy to maximize an existing crack with just a few words.
So, we spent the given 20-minute break chatting about various things.
And just as the second round was about to start.
A Twipod official entered our waiting room and spoke bluntly.
“Team SB. You have advanced to the next round.”
What on earth was this?
“Excuse me?”
“The opposing team has forfeited the remaining rounds. According to the regulations, Team SB advances to the next tournament…”
Forfeited…
I never expected them to make such an extreme choice.
At the official’s words, our team members chuckled and lay back on the sofa again, saying,
“Honestly, Sha, you were a bit too much in the first round.”
“Yeah, bro. It was brutal.”
King Jong-woo and Templar looked at me and said.
These people?
They were accomplices too.
Thus, our forfeit victory was decided, and the result was notified to the viewers.
However, the viewers didn’t seem particularly interested in the Destruction Match right now.
Entering Twipod’s official broadcast was filled with talk about the sniper video.
-So what’s happening now?
-I think I need to buy more popcorn, haha.
-Twipod Korea did a shitty job.
-What are you saying? It’s just Korea being Korea.
-The moment ‘Korea’ is added to a global company’s name, it’s game over. Oh, shit.
-For real, haha. OOO Korea? Oh, shit.
-Adapted to the local environment almost like a native.
-Hey, all the victims are turning on their broadcasts?
-The explanation broadcasts are going crazy. No sleep tonight.
-The big ball Sha launched, haha.
The enormous interest in the Destruction Match was entirely directed at Twipod Korea’s corruption.
It was too late to cover it up as if nothing had happened.
Good.
It was an issue that needed to be exposed anyway, so I hoped it would be thoroughly cleaned up this time.
So, we looked at our smartphones and prepared for a simple review broadcast.
Komeuljwi set up the pre-prepared camera and tripod on the table.
But then, someone rudely opened the door and entered the waiting room.
My colleagues and I turned our attention to the unexpected guest.
A face flushed red like a bright red apple.
The uninvited guest, who was furious, was a face I already knew.
I slightly bowed my head towards the man and greeted him warmly.
“Oh! Jackson. What brings you here? The weather is still quite hot, isn’t it?”
“…Hoo.”
Jackson Oh looked at me, speaking slyly, and let out a deep sigh.
Then he gritted his teeth and said to me.
“You made a mistake.”
“Mistake?”
Jackson Oh was brimming with venom.
And for good reason, as the authority he had been freely wielding was now shaking.
But I didn’t care much about his words.
Instead, I smiled and said,
“What did I do wrong for you to say that? It’s a bit disappointing. I was just faithfully participating in the Destruction Match.”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the waiting room turned cold.
My team members, aside from me, held their breath as they watched the confrontation between Jackson Oh and me.
The tense air filled the waiting room.
Relishing the heavy atmosphere, I spoke to Jackson Oh.
“Anyone who hears this would think I’ve done something wrong.”
“Soon, the company will investigate the issue related to viewbots, and your partnership will be terminated. I’m here to convey that message.”
He seemed quite agitated.
Jackson Oh’s voice kept getting louder.
I asked Jackson Oh in a sly tone.
“Do you have any evidence?”
Jackson Oh responded with a sinister smile, like a villain.
“Do you think the viewers need evidence?”
“You’re right. Even without evidence, you can achieve your goal by merely raising suspicions. But you seem very agitated.”
Whirr.
The camera installed on the table in the waiting room emitted a red light as it turned.
Jackson Oh probably hadn’t noticed it because I was blocking it.
The camera’s recording function was already activated.
This meant that everything Jackson Oh had said since entering this room was being broadcast in real-time.
In front of over 30,000 viewers.
When I stepped aside slightly, Jackson Oh finally noticed the broadcasting camera.
It didn’t take long for Jackson Oh’s red, carrot-like face to turn pale white.
“Life is really unpredictable, isn’t it? Jackson, say whatever you want to say!”
Because that will be your ugly excuse.
I slowly approached Jackson Oh with a broad smile.
