Chapter Title: All Master's Game Broadcast 22
-----------------------------------------------------------------
While Minwoo was called into a meeting, working hard to secure the best possible conditions for Haesung.
"We're done with food too, so I'll wrap up the stream for today."
- squeeee!
-Play more! Play more! Play more!
-2 hours is way too short! Let's make it 3!
Comet was starting to prepare for heading back to Haesung.
Five servings of Buldak ramen and a whole can of Spam, prepped in advance.
Chatting with the viewers while polishing it all off had taken barely over an hour.
One hour gaming, ten-odd minutes prepping food, one hour eating.
Combined, the stream time was just over two hours—hardly enough to call it short.
But Comet stayed nonchalant.
"It's just a trial run to begin with. Even when we go full throttle, I plan to schedule at least two rest days, and the streams won't be that long anyway."
-Eeeeeh...
-Comet rationing system needed!
-For real, stream time's ridiculously short...
Short stream times and two rest days.
Compared to other streamers, it raised doubts about whether he even planned to stream properly, but for Comet, now only on day two of broadcasting, it was par for the course.
"Better to show a perfect performance in small doses than an imperfect one in bulk, right?"
-...Yeah, fair.
-Honestly, we tune in for the overwhelming plays, not average game streams—we'd just watch someone else for that.
-For real for real
Even so, the viewers who remembered Comet's overwhelming dominance could only nod in reluctant agreement despite their regrets.
For 5-hour, 10-hour, or 24-hour marathons, they could always watch someone else.
What they wanted from Comet was the overwhelming spectacle only he could deliver.
Sure, his smooth talk, bottomless appetite, and good looks were plenty entertaining bonuses, but the main draw was his skill.
"Then see you tomorrow. Tbye!"
-ㅠㅠ Tbye ㅠㅠ
-Ah lol gonna hit replay right away
And with that, Comet's second stream came to an end, as the viewers bid farewell to the brightly smiling streamer waving at the camera.
There was one fact Haesung, now off-stream, remained oblivious to.
-Oh, Elbow's live.
-Vector's on too. Guess I'll watch Vector.
-I'm on Mint.
-Comet killed time perfectly till the other streamers went live~
The people who'd just been watching his stream would now flock to other streamers' channels, turning into heralds and clippers sharing what they'd seen.
That was how the Comet craze took off on Trica.
* * *
"Ah, a 10,000-won donation from 'Upper Angel Lower Devil'!"
The female streamer, dressed in revealing clothes and dancing with her stunning looks, flashed a bright smile and made a finger heart.
But that joy was short-lived.
"…Whoa, Purple from placements? That's legit impressive, right? I skipped apein, so I'm clueless, but do you Angels know?"
-Yeah; Purple's top 1%
-But who even is this guy to snag Purple in placements?
-Elbow might not even hit that ㄷㄷ
-Nah, leave Palverge out of it
Angel the streamer and her Angel squad couldn't hide their shock at the 10,000-won donation paired with the video clip.
The flashy combat ending in a Purple placement was pure style incarnate.
Of course—
"And he's handsome too~"
-...Where's my pitchfork
-ㅠㅠ Angel, we're ugly that's why ㅠㅠ
-But he's hotter than male cams, Angel might be in trouble?
His face played a huge role too, naturally.
"Oh come on, he's not bad at all!"
The viewers teased her relentlessly, insisting even she couldn't land him, puffing up Angel's cheeks in a pout as they thumbs-upped her reaction.
-Upper body Angel, curves Lucifer~
-Huge! Height, obviously!
-The up-down jiggle... pupils!
Angel, who'd swiftly captured the viewers' hearts, licked her lips as the video clip ended.
"…So what's this guy's name?"
* * *
"Wow, he actually pulled it off. Purple in placements? Man, I'm too old for that stuff~"
-Palverge ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Still, Palverge could smurf an alt and placement it!
-For real! Palverge has that class!
Viewers who'd tuned into Elbow's freshly started stream tried pumping him up after he saw the video donation and downplayed himself, but Elbow just shook his head.
"Nah. Honestly, even back in my prime, that'd be tough... Pulling off a performance like that now? No way."
-...Okay, Comet might edge out on physicals, but brainpower's all Palverge!
-Brainjucal too ㄷㄷ
-Physicals vs brainjucal showdown?
By age alone, Haesung outdid Elbow, and even by Earth years, Haesung was in his thirties, but viewers figured Haesung was all flash, no substance.
Elbow just chuckled good-naturedly at their reactions.
"True: Purple in two months, for real. No matter how washed up I am, I can't just roll over easy, right?"
-2-0 in BO3, let's go! Palverge!!!
-Goooooo!
-Who's calling Palverge washed? He's still prime time!
Boosted by the fervent cheers from viewers who called him Palverge and treated him like a real dad, Elbow grinned warmly, then his eyes sharpened like honed blades as he logged into Iron Fist.
'Haesung's a good kid and all... but as a gamer, I can't just hand him the win.'
Separate from his bond with Haesung, Elbow had zero intention of going easy.
About two months left.
He'd do everything in his power to prepare for the showdown.
* * *
"Alright, low-high-low... Gahk!"
-lololol how many seconds for low-high-low lololol
-For real move faster!!!
-Turtle's quicker than you!
Iron Fist ranked match.
Even in the lowest tier, Red rank, the guy getting demolished by fellow Reds was prime comedy fodder for viewers.
He didn't read opponent attacks at all, just did his own thing—like he was playing 1v1 against a wall, not a player.
And even that he botched, moving sluggishly, eating every enemy hit while his own got blocked wholesale.
In the end—
[LOSE!]
"…Phew, came down to the wire."
-Wire? What's this wire, 30cm ruler?
-For real, if that's 'wire' then paper's thicker than encyclopedias?
He'd landed exactly one hit, barely avoiding a perfect loss.
Viewers roasted him mercilessly for it.
-Sand special) Sandbag
-Nailed the name choice.
-Sandbag's 'bag' silent so it's Sand? Right? Three-headed octopus?
"Argh, opponent was def a smurf. Bet it's a washed vet who deleted and rerolled to farm noobs."
The decently handsome guy—what you'd call a fine gent—grumbled at his mocking viewers, who promptly pulled up receipts to dunk harder.
-Yep~ Opponent 632 games, 300W-332L, local~
-Yep~ You eternal bronze~
-Red local nearly perfect'd you? Streamer who almost got PERFECT WIN'd by a Red local?
-Ah lol at this point drop the 'skill stream' title. Sand.
"…Hey, hyungnims! IRL I'm flying high, this VR game just ain't my jam, ya know? Don't hit with facts—let's fight fair with stirring and fibs, yeah?!"
The game took backseat as he devolved into chat wars.
[Everyone chill, from You: 10,000 donation!]
(Video)
"…Whoa."
-...Whoa, skilled.
-WA! Sand! Wrong spot?
-Sand on Sand okay? Cats do it in litter
-ㄷㄷㄷㄷ Eye cleanse ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
A sudden video donation halted the battle.
Each play in the Comet clip held something even Iron Fist rankers struggled to replicate.
As the short video ended, the now-silent Sand quietly started matchmaking.
"…Phew, got it now. Feeling's spot on. Master's play opened this fool disciple's eyes."
-Got it special) Didn't get it
-Feeling's here special) Ain't here
-Lol; Eye cleanse then splash with shitwater;;
-But whose Master; Dude never took a disciple like Sand
-For real lol Better straw dummy than teaching Sand lol
Viewers jeered Sand, who—hooked like a mad movie addict—rematched while they searched the video guy's name.
* * *
Rat-tat-tat!
"…Ow! So close this time! Where the hell was that hiding?"
Mint, furious after eating a bullet from nowhere she couldn't block or dodge, rewound her death replay. Her Mint squad had to concede this one.
-Ghillie suit.
-How many minutes camped that spot ㄷㄷ
-This one was legit close.
Ghillie suit.
Even in Battle Base, packed with every item imaginable, this stealth gear was rare—and the user had camped one spot sniping Mint for minutes.
As Mint vented after zero wins in hours of Battle Base starts—
[Breaking News donated 10,000 won!]
(Video)
"…What? Thanks for the 10k from Breaking News first off. What's so 'breaking' about it?"
The second she saw the Breaking News video donation, Mint freaked.
"No way! Oppa got Purple in placements? Impossible!"
-ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-Crazy streamer snags Purple placements? Ppusyung ppasyung ppisyung!
-But fr, deserves Purple. Shredded even Blues
-For real humanity needs him Purple'd outta here!!!
The clip perfectly captured her brother Haesung's Purple placement, so her shock was justified.
Still, shock aside, most viewers agreed it fit.
His skill didn't look sub-Purple to them—and at full throttle, even Purple seemed lowball.
But that faded quick.
-Mint? She'll handle her own boiling.
"…Whoa, he solo'd the Buldak I bought? Insane?!"
-lolololololol
-Buldak ramen? Was here, now gone
-So it was?
-Nope, gone.
-lolololol But damn eats good, now I crave Buldak
Seeing the follow-up video, Mint shot up in disbelief.
Thud!
"…Ow!"
-lolololololol
-All heard~ Headbonked the pod~
-Mint breaks into Mint dust~
In her haste, forgetting the capsule, she slammed her head hard enough to boom through stream mic—unleashing viewer laughter.
"Oww... Damn it, stream ends here today. Off to my 15,321st sibling showdown."
Rubbing her red-swollen forehead, teary-eyed Mint faced the cam.
Viewers chat-spammed pity.
-Mint... You're the developer...
-15,321st means 15,321 losses?
-ㄷㄷㄷㄷ Zero-win certainty vibe;;
"No it's not! I've beaten oppa before!"
-Aww, sureee?
-Mint lie-lie-lie~
-Mint... Viewers believe you. Our Mint's the best!
"…Who the hell are you viewers! Whose Trsu are you?!"
-Dunno? Lol?
-Dunno? Lol?
-Not Mint's lol
-Me neither lolol
-Came for Comet VOD, host's uglier than Comet and twice as pissy(sweat)
"Arghhh! Tbye tbytebye!!! See you all tomorrow! Bye!!!"
Overwhelmed by the roast, red-faced Mint mashed end stream, closing her broadcast.
Staring at the darkened screen, her devilish squad waved, all innocence.
-Mint bye~
-Ah, today's Mint tease quota filled.
-Productive day
-lolol for real for real
-Comet VOD crew assemble! Me first~
After the reliable punchbag Mint, they migrated to the Comet replay they'd skipped for her.
Haesung's streaming career was charting a smooth upward curve.
